About this test

Everything you need to know about Extended Cancer Risk

Where a family history includes several different cancers, or a cancer that does not fit a single pattern, a single-cancer gene test can miss the explanation. The Extended Cancer Risk panel looks across more than 80 genes linked to hereditary cancer syndromes at once — the BRCA genes, PALB2, CHEK2 and ATM for breast and ovarian cancer; the Lynch syndrome genes (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, EPCAM) for bowel, womb and ovarian cancer; APC and MUTYH; TP53 and PTEN; and genes associated with endocrine, kidney and skin cancer syndromes.

A genetic test looks at the DNA you were born with. It tells you about inherited likelihood, not certainty: a variant can raise your risk without meaning you will develop the condition, and a clear result does not remove the everyday risk everyone carries. Results are explained to you by our clinical team, and we will say when a conversation with your GP or a genetics service is the right next step. Because the findings can affect relatives as well as you, every result from this panel is discussed with you in detail, and we support you in deciding what to share and how.

Who it's for

Worth considering if

  • Several relatives with different cancers, or cancers at a young age
  • A known inherited cancer syndrome in the family where the exact gene is not known
  • A single-gene test that came back clear but a strong family history remains
  • Women wanting a comprehensive inherited-risk review in one test
Important: A genetic test describes inherited likelihood, not certainty, and is not suitable for everyone. Our clinical team talks it through with you before the sample is taken and explains the result afterwards, including when a conversation with your GP or a genetics service is the right next step.

Frequently Asked

Extended Cancer Risk — FAQs

How does this differ from the Breast & Ovarian Cancer Risk test?
That test focuses on the ten genes most often behind breast and ovarian cancer. This panel includes those and goes much wider — bowel, womb, pancreatic, kidney, skin and endocrine cancer genes — so it suits a family history that spans several cancers or is not clearly one type.
Will it tell me if I have cancer now?
No. It is a test of inherited risk, not of current disease. Any symptoms you have should be seen by your GP without waiting for a genetic result, and routine screening still applies.
What is the chance of finding a variant?
In most people, nothing significant is found. A result is more likely to be positive when there is a strong family history, which is why we ask you to gather as much of it as you can.
What happens if a variant is found?
Our clinician explains what it means and recommends referral through your GP to a clinical genetics service, which can confirm the finding, advise on surveillance or risk-reducing options, and offer testing to relatives.
How long do results take?
A panel of this size takes longer than other tests. We give you the expected turnaround at your appointment and arrange a results conversation once the report is back.
Where is the test done?
44 Crawford Street, London W1H 1JS — a short walk from Marylebone and Edgware Road stations. Your sample is taken at the clinic by our clinical team; you do not need to bring anything.
How long does the appointment take?
About 15 minutes. If you have booked several tests they are all done in the same visit.
Can I book several tests at once?
Yes. Use “Add to booking” on each test and then “Book” in the bar at the bottom — they go into one appointment and one payment. Home test kits are ordered separately, because they are posted to you.
How do I pay, and can I cancel?
Pay online when you book — by card or bank transfer — or at the clinic where that option is offered. You can cancel or reschedule up to 24 hours before your appointment for a full refund.
How do I get my results?
Results are released to your secure account and explained by our clinical team in a written summary, with a call where something needs talking through. Turnaround depends on the test: routine blood panels are quicker than genetic or DNA analysis, and we tell you what to expect at your appointment.
