A #BRCA genetic test looks for harmful changes in your BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes that may increase your risk of certain cancers, such as breast, ovarian, prostate, or pancreatic cancer. Not everyone with a harmful variant in genes will get cancer. ow.ly/SEek50QnEwB #BRCAtest

While a lump in the breast could turn out to be #breastcancer, not all lumps are cancerous in nature.
However, if you observe persistent lumps in your breast, make sure you visit your doctor or book a #BRCAtest at #SRLDiagnostics.

A negative @23andMe #BRCAtest does not mean you are 'in the clear'. Worried about inherited cancer risk?
1) See a certified genetic counselor. There is no good alternative.
2) tested -ve in the past? May need to retest in a few yrs

.@BRCAresponder calls for @23andMe to provide customers with #BRCA-informational webpages and #genetic counselors on their message boards in light of new #FDA approvals allowing at-home #genetictesting for certain #cancer mutations. What do YOU think? #NextGenMed
