Bowel cancer is the 4th most common cancer in the UK with over 40,000 new cases each year. You may be at higher risk of developing bowel cancer if a parent or sibling has been diagnosed previously. Cancer Research UK estimate that 54% of bowel cancer cases are preventable. If genetic testing shows you have a higher risk of bowel cancer, there may be ways to reduce that risk including regular screening, lifestyle changes and risk reducing surgery. Not sure if genetic testing is right for you? For £100, book a phone call with a genetic counsellor to discuss your family history, previous tests, the testing process, genes tested, turnaround times, and potential implications. You’ll get expert guidance on the best test for you—plus £100 off your chosen genetic test.
