Whether you're in London or anywhere in the UK, our private cancer screening helps you take control of your health with expert guidance.
If you're looking for comprehensive genetic testing to check for inherited risks linked to breast, ovarian, prostate, bowel, pancreatic, or skin cancers, Jeen offers at-home DNA tests across the UK. The test analyses 50 carefully chosen genes, each backed by strong scientific evidence linked to prostate cancer risk. Our testing gives you a clearer view of your genetic risk and helps you make confident, informed decisions about your health.
Our genetic testing for cancer at Jeen is designed for accuracy and reliability. Our partner lab uses advanced technology called 50x sequencing, which reads each part of your DNA about 50 times. This helps us find inherited gene changes linked to cancers like breast, ovarian, prostate, and bowel cancer. While no test can guarantee you'll or won't get cancer, ours gives you trusted insights to help you plan ahead. Learn more about the statistics here at Jeen.
