Our genes can tell a lot about us. For example, inherited DNA is what will determine the color of our hair, eyes, height and many other features. They have evolved to help us survive in a primitive world, but they can also transmit unwanted predispositions such as diseases, which are caused by changes in genes that we call mutations. However, mutations do not always mean something bad that will cause disease or even death. Mutations sometimes create new gene variations that can provide a person with certain advantages, but they can also create various variations that will be neither good nor bad, just different. And that is what makes each person unique. To find out if a particular gene has mutated and poses a risk to a person, then genetic testing is the surest way of detection. The person who undergoes it does not need to be an expert in DNA knowledge, especially if he does it in the Poliklinika Analiza where all tests of this type are performed under the watchful eye of geneticists, molecular biologists and other experts who, after the results obtained, will draw up a report that can be understood by any layman. This approach, along with subsequent counseling and guided treatment, is included in the Zdravlje Dojke Sensor package. It is a panel aimed at effective prevention and treatment of breast cancer, which includes: • analysis of relevant genetic variations, • early genetic detection and prevention program, • lifestyle adjustments to reduce the risk of breast cancer, • analysis of 13 genetic variations for the action of more than 40 drugs, • greater chances of cure through optimal drug therapy • medical monitoring for optimal prevention. Breast health is an important component of general health, and it refers to awareness of possible risks, prevention of breast disease, detection of personal risk of disease development and familiarization with ways of early detection of breast cancer. Since 1970, the incidence of breast cancer has almost doubled, but methods of treatment and follow-up have also advanced, so the death rate is constantly decreasing. Therefore, it is important, when possible, not to allow cancer to arise in the first place, in which modern genetic diagnostics, such as the one included in the Zdravlje Dojke Sensor package, offer various possibilities. Why is the detection of genetic variations important for breast health? In the normal distribution of drugs in the body, an important role is played by bodily enzymes that prepare them for excretion from the bloodstream so that their concentration in the body is always correct. In the case of genetic variations, there is a disturbance and the drugs remain in the body for a longer time, which can ultimately lead to unwanted side effects or even the absence of their effect. Enzymes are especially important when it comes to prodrugs, a type of drug that is taken in an inactive form, which includes tamoxifen – a cancer prevention drug. If the enzyme that should activate such a drug does not function properly, the drug in the body will not work in the required way. The genetic analysis contained in the Zdravlje Dojke Sensor package at the price of HRK 2,490.00 provides data on the rate of drug breakdown, which is a very important feature when determining the dose during treatment. Every patient who undergoes this testing at the Analiza polyclinic receives a report of up to 41 pages in length, which contains general information about the meaning and action of genes, the influence and method of distribution of drugs in the body, breast health, specific and detailed information about a person’s genetic variations, methods of prevention and the importance of their early detection, and the effects of the genetic profile on relevant drugs. genetic variations. In case of positive results, i.e. detection of an increased risk, the obtained details about the mutations of the tested genes will help in determining the type and method of treatment in the event of the development of cancer, but also the need for prevention, which applies equally to women and men who are also at risk of developing breast cancer. If you think you belong to a group of vulnerable people, but also if you have already been diagnosed with breast cancer, prevention plays one of the most important roles. In the case of an increased risk, it will provide a delay and even prevent the onset of the disease, and in the case of already developed cancer, it will help to achieve improvement and restore health. Some risk factors, such as a family history of the disease, cannot be changed, but lifestyle changes that include limited alcohol consumption, not smoking, weight maintenance, physical activity, regular self-examinations and adequate vitamin D intake will be factors that reduce the risk of developing and help maintain breast health. After carrying out the genetic analysis, each report that the client receives contains more detailed information about prevention, while the patient has a specialist at his disposal who provides further support and helps in achieving betterment and achieving a healthy and fulfilling life. The satisfaction and health of the client is our priority, which is why the personal cover letter provides an email address and a contact phone number through which an expert will provide an answer to every question or doubt. At the Analiza polyclinic, you will not be left to your own devices, so contact us without fear and undergo this one-time and painless test so that you can continue to live a fulfilling and healthy life.
