Breast Cancer Awareness with easyDNA Philippines

Do you know someone who has had, or currently has breast cancer? It would be surprising if you answered ‘No’ to this question, as it touches the lives of so many with Breast cancer comprises 16% of all newly diagnosed cancers in the Philippines.

Breast cancer is a disease in which abnormal breast cells grow out of control and form tumours. If left unchecked, the tumours can spread throughout the body and become fatal. Breast cancer cells begin inside the milk ducts and/or the milk-producing lobules of the breast.

EasyDNA is a genetic testing company that offers a range of DNA tests, including those related to health and wellness. In the context of breast cancer awareness in the Philippines, EasyDNA can play a role by providing genetic testing services that help identify individuals at higher risk for breast cancer.

Here are some ways EasyDNA contributes to breast cancer awareness and prevention in the Philippines:

There are a number of risk factors that contribute to the development of breast cancer in the Philippines, including a family history of breast cancer. with EasyDNA’s Genetic Testing for Breast Cancer, we offer BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutation tests, which can help determine an individual’s genetic predisposition to breast cancer. These tests are crucial for identifying high-risk individuals who may benefit from increased surveillance or preventive measures. So, what exactly are these genes? The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are involved in DNA repair and maintaining the stability of the cell’s genetic material, which helps prevent uncontrolled cell growth and the formation of tumours. Ask us for more information about how we can help you with this.

At EasyDNA, we participate in & support campaigns during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, providing information about the importance of genetic testing in breast cancer prevention and early detection. For those wanting to further explore and confirm whether they carry certain hereditary gene mutations that may be responsible for certain cancers, the Specialised Inherited Male & Female Cancer Panel is available from EasyDNA Philippines.

For Filipinos concerned about the likelihood of developing cancer of any type, EasyDNA is a great starting point for genetic screening tests. Let’s band together to stop being cancer statistics!
