Our genetic prostate cancer test looks for mutations in 14 key genes associated with increased risk. With this insight you can make informed decisions to help protect your health.
If you have a family history of prostate cancer, breast cancer or ovarian cancer, it might mean you are at increased risk of prostate cancer due to a genetic mutation. It is important to note, having a gene mutation linked to prostate cancer doesn't mean you will develop prostate cancer, but it can increase your risk. Not sure if genetic testing is right for you? For £100, book a phone call with a genetic counsellor to discuss your family history, previous tests, the testing process, genes tested, turnaround times, and potential implications. You'll get expert guidance on the best test for you-plus £100 off your chosen genetic test.

Formerly known as Faecal Occult Blood (FOB) test, this is an updated, even more accurate version of the highly sensitive screening test that checks for hidden (occult) blood in the stool (faeces).
To detect blood in the stool, which may indicate the presence of cancerous or precancerous growths in the bowel.
This test measures the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) levels in the blood. Raised PSA levels are linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer.
