Hereditary Cancer Testing

Genetic testing yields a wealth of information about your risk for developing hereditary breast, ovarian, uterine, colorectal, gastric, prostate, melanoma, and pancreatic cancers. With 5-10% of all cancer estimated to be hereditary, more and more Canadians with early cancer diagnoses or family histories of cancer are considering genetic testing from LifeLabs, so they can learn more about their risks ahead of time.

QuantiFERON®-TB Gold Plus

QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) is a simple blood test for Tuberculosis (TB), an air-born and highly contagious infectious disease. TB can affect the lungs as well as lymph nodes, bones, brain, organs and eyes and kills about 1.5 million people each year worldwide. Not everyone who is exposed to TB bacteria will develop an infection, and not all of those who become infected will develop symptoms, which is why getting tested is so important.

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test

One in nine men in Canada will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Prostate cancer is highly treatable if diagnosed in the early stages. A PSA test from LifeLabs measures your prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and can aide in early detection of the disease.

25-Hydroxy Vitamin D Test

The 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D test through LifeLabs can help detect a potential vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is produced by your body when the sun’s UV rays contact your skin and also occurs naturally in a limited amount of food sources. It is estimated that up to one-third of Canadians do not have the recommended levels of vitamin D. This simple blood test can provide you with piece of mind that you are receiving the vitamin D that you need for optimum health.

Panorama Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)

Panorama™ is a non-invasive test performed through a simple blood draw from the mother’s arm. Because of its unique technology, this NIPT test can distinguish between the mother and baby’s DNA and see if there is evidence of genetic conditions that could affect the baby’s health.

Fecal Calprotectin Test

Canada has one of the highest incidence and prevalence rates of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in the world. With symptoms of these two conditions appearing similar, Fecal Calprotectin testing can provide an accurate diagnosis in many patients with chronic diarrhea without the need of doing invasive diagnostic procedures.

Signatera

Signatera is a genetics-based cancer test (molecular residual disease test - MRD). It is personalized to detect and monitor your cancer status by examining your unique tumour mutation profile. It can do this much sooner and more accurately compared to traditional diagnostic methods (e.g. imaging).
