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.

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.

24-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)

Hypertension doesn’t usually have early warning signs or symptoms until your blood pressure has reached a critical stage. Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) requires you to wear a small device that monitors your blood pressure over the course of 24-hours. The device measures and records your blood pressure at regular intervals (typically every 15-30 minutes). A record of your blood pressure over a set period of time provides a more reliable measurement than one-off readings, as well as vital information about your blood pressure and potential hypertension.

Colorectal Health (FIT) Kit

The Colorectal Health (FIT) kit can help optimize your colorectal health by screening for colorectal cancer and pre-cancerous growths.

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test

SmartVascular Dx Test

Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH)Test

When planning a family or evaluating a woman’s overall reproductive health, measuring Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels through a simple blood test can help to: 

PLAC® Test

While an estimated 1.6 million Canadians have coronary heart disease or are living with the effects of a stroke, many don’t have the commonly recognized risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The PLAC® Test at LifeLabs can help determine if you are at risk for heart disease, ischemic stroke or myocardial infarction due to the formation and vulnerability of plaque to rupture in your vascular system.
