#Genetictesting plays an integral part in diagnosing and treating lung cancer. Genetic testing looks for mutations which help develop tailored treatment plans. Using Genetic testing, one can identify changes in lung cells that may trigger and contribute to cancer growth – “Biomarkers”. Identifying the biomarkers helps Oncologist arrive at the best approach to treatment. These targeted therapies are less invasive than traditional cancer treatments because they do not destroy healthy cells – they stop the cancer cells from growing and reproducing.” – says #MetropolisScientificexpert Dr Kirti Chadha, (Chief Scientific Officer, Metropolis Healthcare) in her interview to #Onlymyhealth. Find out more in this article, as she elaborates on the importance of Genetic testing in early detection, and treatment of #LungCancer.

#BreastCancer and #OvarianCancer are the most common forms of cancer in women and constitute a major cause of cancer related mortality in women. Around 10-15% of breast cancers are attributed to mutations or alterations in #BReastCAncerGene (BRCA ½) genes, causing 40-50% of #hereditarybreastcancers. Experts suggest that the early risk detection of breast cancer through genetic testing can help in better management. In this article covered in #Onlymyhealth, Dr. Monisha Banerjee, Senior Consultant, Molecular Genomics and Genetic Counselling, Metropolis Healthcare Limited speaks on the significance of #Genetictesting, Pre & Post Counselling for the early detection of Breast Cancer risk.

Mutations or abnormalities in the BRCA1 (BReast CAncer Gene 1) and BRCA2 genes are the most common cause of hereditary breast cancer. In the Indian population, there is a higher proportion of BRCA1- associated breast cancer (66%) than BRCA2 (45%). Men with a BRCA mutation, especially BRCA2 are also at a higher risk of Breast Cancer (6-8%). Dr. Aparna Rajadhyaksha, Medical Consultant, Metropolis Healthcare contributes an insightful article to The New Indian Express explaining the significance of Breast Cancer Gene Testing and its impact on treatment.

#BRCAGenetest is a blood test that is done to detect if you have any changes or mutations in your DNA which can increase the risk of breast cancer. A person who has a history of breast cancer diagnosed at 45, a person who has a history of ovarian cancer or a person who has a history of triple negative breast cancer diagnosed at an age of 60 or younger are the ones who should consider a BRCA Gene testing. Check out this video, as Dr Kirti Chadha, Chief Scientific Officer and Sr. Consultant, Oncopathologist, at Metropolis Labs provides a brief insight on BRCA Gene testing and why it is important. https://www.thehealthsite.com/videos/what-is-brca-gene-testing-for-breast-cancer-and-why-is-it-important-explained-by-expert-870050/ #BRCAGenetest
