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

Before the Test

• No fasting is required.

• Continue your usual medications unless your clinician advises otherwise.

• If possible, note any family history of breast, ovarian, pancreatic, or prostate cancer, this can help during counselling.

• Eligibility: 18 Years and above

During the Test

• A trained eMedic will visit your home to collect the sample

• Sample type: Blood

• The collection involves a simple needle-based blood draw, similar to any routine blood test, and takes only a few minutes

After the Test

• Turnaround time: 24 days

• Your report will be available once analysis is complete

• After your report is ready, a counselling session will be scheduled to walk you through your findings and answer any questions

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.

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.
