Simple steps to check for Hereditary Cancer Risk with Jeen.
Buy your online genetic consult + cancer screening kit. It will prepare you for all the outcomes of your test.
Complete your consent form and we will book a 45-min call with our specialist.
Get your kit, collect sample with swab, package, sent and receive your results online.
A simple, low-cost option with flexible scheduling. For many patients, this is the quickest and most practical way to complete the test.
At Jeen, our private genetic testing for cancer uses a simple cheek swab you can do at home. Your DNA is analysed in a certified lab to look for inherited changes that may increase your cancer risk. We test for more than just cancer genes, giving you faster results and a fuller picture of your health. 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.
At Jeen, your genetic testing journey takes up to four weeks from start to finish. You'll have a consultation with a genetic counsellor, receive an at-home cheek swab kit, and send it back by post. Your DNA is analysed in a certified lab, and results are shared with you promptly, so you can take the next steps with confidence.
Our team of expert Genetic Counsellors is here to help. Whether you're curious about testing, your results, or what’s right for you — we're just a message away.
