Hereditary Cancer Screening is a genetic test for individuals who may have inherited genetic mutations that increase their risk of developing certain types of cancer. These tests can be used to identify individuals who may be at a higher risk of developing certain types of cancer, such as breast, ovarian, colon, and prostate cancer, and they can also be used to guide cancer risk management decisions such as increased cancer surveillance or prophylactic surgery.

The Cancer Screen multi-cancer early detection test is a blood test that can detect over 85 types of cancer. It also can predict the origin of the cancer signal with high accuracy to aid in the diagnostic process. It is intended to be used in conjunction with existing screening methods for individuals at an elevated risk of cancer, such as those aged 50 or older.

The Comprehensive Gene Profiling (CGP) uses a single test to assess a large number of genes for the four primary types of genomic changes that drive cancer growth: base substitutions, insertions, deletions, copy number alterations, and rearrangements or fusions. This type of molecular testing provides a comprehensive report on potential cancer-causing drivers. The increasing availability of targeted therapies has made molecular profiling increasingly beneficial to more patients. As a result, analyzing a wider range of genes for various alterations has become increasingly critical.
