Our Genetic Cancer Testing Services

The genetic testing services we provide at our clinics on St. Thomas and St. Croix focus on cancers that are often influenced by inherited risk factors. Some key testing options include:

• Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations to assess hereditary risk.

• Gastrointestinal Cancers. Lynch syndrome testing and comprehensive panel tests to evaluate multiple cancer-related genes in one step.

With advanced diagnostic tools and an experienced team, we offer thorough assessments tailored to you and your family.

Who Should Get Tested?

Not everyone needs genetic testing, but certain factors may indicate it’s right for you. Consider testing if you have:

• A personal or family history of cancer at a young age

• Multiple cases of cancer within your family

• A previous diagnosis of cancer, as genetic insights can inform future care decisions

How Does the Testing Work?

The process is simple and designed with your convenience — and comfort — in mind:

• Sample Collection. A small blood or saliva sample is collected during your appointment.

• Laboratory Analysis. Your sample is sent to a specialized lab for genetic analysis. Processing typically takes a few weeks.

• Results and Next Steps. Once the results are ready, we’ll meet with you to explain what they mean. If additional testing or monitoring is recommended, we’ll guide you through each new step that arises.

Genetic testing offers powerful information, and we’re here to help you use it to make confident decisions about your health.
