Cancer Guardian has been renamed as Genomic Life. This page reflects the recent updates to the program and name.
Genomic Life is accelerating genomic medicine and proactive health for everyone, by turning personal genetic insights into impactful clinical actions. Understanding your unique genome can help predict future risk, inform treatment, and drive high-impact approaches to optimize your health.
PROGRAM FEATURES
Our genome benefit management program facilitates access to genetic tests and services that yield actionable results. Genomic Life’s current product offering includes three proactive health tests and additional services:
• The Genetic Health Screen analyzes 147 genes, identifying elevated health risks for cancer, cardiac disease, and other critical illnesses.
• The Carrier test uncovers genetic insights from both you and your partner during family planning. These insights help to mitigate the risk of serious illness in offspring, supporting healthy deliveries and childhoods.
• The Pharmacogenomics (PGx) test analyzes the unique way an individual responds to medications to optimize treatment, maximize effectiveness, and minimize side effects.
• Genetic counseling is available as both pre- and post-test guidance for clinical action planning.
• The Clinical Information line can be utilized day one by you and your immediate family for questions, concerns, and care-giving advice
