Hereditary Cancer

Identify how your patient’s genetics may facilitate preventative interventions and early detection, as well as recognize at-risk family members.

Sequence Once, Query Often®

Existing Patient (SOQO)®

≤ 5 days

New Patient

6-21 days

Sample

Saliva, Blood, Buccal

One comprehensive test provides clinical answers today and enables future queries as science evolves. If your patient has been sequenced before, Helix will automatically flag them as an existing patient in your EHR ordering workflow. No new sample required.

Clinical Utility

Identifies individuals with a hereditary predisposition to cancer who may benefit from:

  • Increased cancer screening
  • Risk-reducing surgeries
  • Chemoprevention
  • Targeted therapies (e.g., PARP inhibitors)
  • Clarification of risk for family members

Tech Specs
