Cancer Risk Assessment
Understand your risk for cancer
The first step to experiencing more reassurance is evaluating your risk for cancer. Lifestyle, age, health history and family history all impact your personal risk for developing cancer in your lifetime. Understanding your risk is important in knowing which screenings you should schedule, increasing the likelihood of early detection and giving you more treatment options.
Take a risk assessment
Our risk assessment takes about 5-7 minutes to complete. At the end, you will receive a free personalized risk assessment report that will help you identify risk factors that may increase your chance of developing cancer. You’ll also find information about healthy lifestyle choices you can take to reduce your risk along with tips to manage your health based on the information provided in the assessment.
Breast cancer risk assessment
Excluding cancers of the skin, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, accounting for nearly 1 in 3 cancers diagnosed in US women. Men are generally at low risk for developing breast cancer; however, approximately 1% of the male population will develop breast cancer.
Colorectal cancer risk assessment
Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in women and second leading cause of cancer deaths in men in the U.S. The good news is that the five-year survival rate for colorectal cancer if found early is 90%. That is why understanding your risk factors for developing colon cancer is so important.
Lung cancer risk assessment
According to the American Cancer Society, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women, making up almost 25% of all cancer deaths. Not all cases of lung cancer can be prevented, but there are some ways you can reduce your risk of getting lung cancer.
Prostate cancer risk assessment
The prostate is a gland located in front of the rectum and underneath the urinary bladder. It is found only in men. The size of the prostate varies with age. In younger men, it is the size of a walnut, but it can be much larger in older men. Several types of cells are found in the prostate, but almost all prostate cancers develop from the gland cells. The medical term for a cancer that starts in gland cells is adenocarcinoma.
