Early cancer detection dramatically improves your chances of beating it.
Often cancer develops due to lifestyle and habits, such as smoking or not protecting your skin with sunscreen. However, many cancers can also be brought on by mutations in your DNA.
Our home DNA test requires just a small saliva sample to tell you whether you are at increased risk of developing skin cancer, also called Melanoma over the next 10 years due to your genetics, compared to the average 'healthy' person in the UK.
Knowing your risk means you can take action now to ensure you stay healthy for longer - from keeping an eye on moles and growth, to wearing sun lotion and going for regular screening.
You do not need an initial consultation to take this test.
Get your DNA results in 3 simple steps:
Order your test kit online for delivery to your door.
Provide a saliva sample and post it back to our laboratory for analysis - postage is free.
Our experts analyse your sample and send your results via email in 6-8 weeks.
