What the laboratory says this test is for
The Hereditary Colorectal Cancer Panel includes 20 genes associated primarily with hereditary gastrointestinal cancers and possibly other cancers. This can include, but is not limited to, cancers of the colon, endometrium, stomach, urinary tract, ovary, pancreas, prostate, and rectum. Individuals with a positive result (pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant detected) have an increased risk for developing certain cancers relative to that of the general population.
