Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer in Australian women and the leading cause of cancer deaths for females. While breast cancer awareness and early detection is increasing mortality rates remain high.
What we know is that virtually all cancers are the result of abnormalities in your DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The role of DNA is to be long term storage of information much like a set of blueprints, the blueprint of the human body. From the analysis of breast cancer cells we can read the information of the DNA which will assist in matching treatment to your cancer that may reduce mortality.
At Medvet Laboratories we can have a sample of breast cancer tumour analysed with a test called MammaPrint and a report sent to your doctor. From this information your treatment options can be matched to your breast cancer.
