Prostate cancer is one of the most common oncological diseases worldwide. It ranks second in frequency after lung cancer.
The symptoms of prostate cancer are not very obvious in the early stages of the disease. For timely diagnostics of the disease, it is important to pay attention to such signs as:
– Difficulty urinating
– Decreased strength of urine stream
– Blood in urine and semen
– Pain in the bones
– Erectile dysfunction
1 in 10 cases of prostate cancer is associated with genetic mutations.
The PreSENTIA Hereditary Prostate Cancer Panel examines inherited mutations that may lead to prostate cancer in the future.
The PreSENTIA Hereditary Prostate Cancer Panel tests for 15 genes:
– ATMs
– BRCA1
– BRCA2
– CHEK2
– EPCAM
– HOXB13
– MLH1
– MSH2
– MSH6
– NBN
– PALB2
– PMS2
– PTEN
– RAD51D
– TP53
Genetic variants of prostate cancer are characterized by greater aggressiveness than cases without a genetic predisposition.
