The best way to attack a tumour is to detect it early - the philosophy behind many genetic studies on families with hereditary cancer of the breast, colon and ovaries. A test to determine if there are germination mutations in patients suspected to be at risk
The test has just been completed using a third-generation data sequencer. The director of the medical oncology unit in two Málaga hospitals and professor of oncology at the Málaga University, Emilio Alba, carried out a genetic study on some 1,500 Malagueño families to search for germination mutations. A sample of blood is all that is needed.
Patients in this risk group are attended to across Málaga province by a specialist unit on genetic advice, directed by Dr. Antonia Márquez. The blood samples are analysed in the company Genealogical which returns a complete report so Dr Márquez has the speciality to adopt the ideal treatment in each case.
