Some scientifically-proven genes play an important role in cell growth. Researchers have been able to link some types of cancer to certain gene mutations which cause cells to grow out of control and cancer to develop.
Genetic tests have potential benefits to help you better understand your risk of cancer, make decisions about your health and learn ways to help lower your risk of cancer. If you have an abnormal gene, your doctor may recommend that you should start screening at an earlier age or get screened more often to find cancer earlier.
