Routine breast screening starts at 50, but 1 in 5 cases affect younger women. Early prevention is crucial.

Next-generation cancer prevention considers your risk profile

Breast cancer and related deaths can often be prevented with timely measures. Personal cancer prevention with genetic risk assessment can give early warning to women at risk even if there is no cancer in the family. It guides you towards tailored screening and prevention based on personal risk level.

Powered by Innovative Polygenic Risk Score (PRS)

PRS is an innovative, non-intrusive method for predicting disease risk to enable personalised prevention. The use of PRS genetic tests in clinical practice represents a modern standard of care in personalised medicine, supported by extensive research data and clinical evidence from numerous studies.

Our PRS calculates the combined effect of 2803 genetic variants associated with breast cancer. By combining the PRS with a person’s background (origin, age, and gender), we are able to calculate a person’s risk of developing cancer. Moreover, we provide tailored medical advice to prevent illness or promote early detection.

Over 16 000 valuable insights from us

I am one of those who became a breast cancer survivor under the age of 50. But at the same time, I am very lucky because I knew about my high polygenic risk score earlier thanks to the Antegenes genetic test and started having mammograms and ultrasounds several years ago. My cancer (a subtle lobular form that did not make itself felt at all) was discovered during a regular annual check-up as a small and easily treatable cancer. Only the PRS showed a high risk of breast cancer; a later genetic test during treatment did not find any common mutations associated with cancer. Without the Antegenes test, I might not have suspected that it would be wise for me to have a breast examination before the age of 50.

I never would have thought that I might have an increased risk of breast cancer – especially since there has never been any cancer in my family. Personalised breast cancer prevention gave me a clear plan to follow, including starting mammography screenings from the age of 36. I’m also committed to following the lifestyle recommendations that came with the plan to reduce my risk through healthy habits. Now I know how to take care of myself and when to start with screenings. This knowledge is truly invaluable.

Anna, 33
"Since I am younger than the age of being called for breast cancer screening, it was important for me to take a genetic risk test to find out my own genetic risk assessment of breast cancer and what I can do at a younger age to maintain my health. I found out that I have a higher risk and I’m now advised to go for a mammography screening as early as age 40 and should do it every two years. This is why I strongly encourage and recommend this kind of genetic testing – it gave me a sense of peace."
