    Know Your Genetic Risk for Cancer - Early

    Breast cancer risk isn’t always visible, sometimes it’s inherited.

    BreastAssure – Basic helps you understand whether you carry genetic variants that may increase your lifetime risk of breast or ovarian cancer , so you can plan smarter, earlier screening with your doctor.

    This test looks for inherited changes in BRCA1 and BRCA2, the two genes most strongly linked to hereditary breast cancer, all through a one-time blood test collected at home.

    Why people choose this test

    • Early clarity, not guesswork : Mammograms show whether cancer is present today, while this test helps you understand your genetic risk over a lifetime, so screening can start earlier and be planned better.

    • Actionable insights : Helps doctors personalise screening timelines and prevention plans

    • Family-relevant information : Results may guide whether close relatives should consider testing

    • Expert guidance included : Every report is explained by a certified genetic counsellor

    Important to know

    This is not a cancer diagnosis . It’s a risk-screening test designed to help you make informed decisions about future monitoring and preventive care before symptoms appear.

    Once your report is ready, a dedicated counselling session will walk you through:

    • What your results mean

    • What they don’t mean

    • What next steps (if any) you should discuss with your clinician

    Why Take the Breast Assure Basic (BRCA1 & BRCA2) Test?

    Early Awareness of Hereditary Risk

    A positive BRCA1 or BRCA2 result can help you and your clinician decide whether earlier or more frequent screening is needed.

    Supports Family Planning

    BRCA variants can be inherited. Your result may help guide whether relatives should consider testing.

    Helps Personalise Your Screening Strategy

    If your test shows an inherited variant linked to higher risk, your doctor may recommend tailored imaging schedules, preventive steps, or lifestyle changes.

    Clear Guidance Included

    Your report is reviewed with a counsellor so you understand your risk and possible next steps.

    Breast Assure Basic (BRCA1 & BRCA2) Test Results & Interpretation

    1. Positive Result (Pathogenic / Likely Pathogenic Variant Found)

    A clinically significant variant was found in BRCA1 or BRCA2. This means your lifetime risk for certain cancers may be higher. Your counsellor will explain:

    • What this means for your health

    • Screening recommendations

    • Whether your family members may benefit from testing

    2. Negative Result (No clinically significant Variant Found)

    No clinically significant variants were detected in the two genes tested. This reduces the chance of BRCA-related hereditary risk, but does not eliminate all breast or ovarian cancer risk, since lifestyle and other non-genetic factors also play a role.

    3. Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)

    A Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS) is a genetic change whose impact isn’t fully understood yet.

    • It should not guide medical decisions.

    • It may be reclassified in the future as more data becomes available.

    Your counsellor will help you understand what it means for your report.

    FAQs About BreastAssure – Basic Test in Bangalore

    A DNA screening test that checks for inherited variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2, which can increase the risk of breast or ovarian cancer.

    It is not a diagnostic test , but a screening test to check for inherited genetic risk.

    A trained Medic will collect a blood sample from your home using a standard needle-based blood draw.

    Who should consider this test?

    • Individuals with a personal or family history of breast, ovarian, pancreatic, or prostate cancer

    • Anyone wanting to understand inherited cancer risk

    • Relatives of someone with a known BRCA variant

    No. This test looks only at inherited genetic risk. It does not check for current cancer. You should continue regular mammograms and clinical breast exams as advised by your doctor.

    Can birth control, hormones, or medication affect my result?

    No, genetic results are not changed by routine medications.

    A positive result simply means that a genetic variant was found that may be linked to a higher chance of cancer risk. But, it does not mean that cancer is certain.

    Your counselling session will help you understand what this finding means for you and what you may want to discuss with your clinician.

    A negative result means no BRCA1/BRCA2 variants were found.

    This is generally reassuring, but it does not remove all health risks since lifestyle and other non-genetic factors also play a role.

    A Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS) is a genetic change whose impact isn’t fully understood yet. It isn’t used for medical decision-making today, and your counsellor will help you understand what it means for your report.

    Is this test suitable during pregnancy?

    Yes, you can take this test safely during pregnancy.

    Yes, men can take this test as BRCA1/BRCA2 variants also affect men (e.g., prostate and breast cancer risk).

    You will receive your report within 24 days from the date of testing.

    Within 2 days of your report being released, you will receive a call for a counselling session with a genetic counsellor. They will walk you through your report, explain each finding in simple terms, and answer any questions you may have. They will also guide you on what to discuss with your clinician, if needed.

    If your sample cannot be processed, a re-collection will be arranged so it can be processed again.
