By analyzing a patient's DNA we are able to search for specific genetic variants that put one at an increased risk of Hereditary Cancer.

Adventus uses the latest advances in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze a patient’s sample. Thus, providing comprehensive reports of genetic variants and risk factors. The ordering physician, supported by our genetic counselors, is able to formulate a treatment protocol to address any negative findings. Awareness of one’s risk factors allows patients and their physicians to take a proactive, rather than reactive approach to managing identified risks.

Who is at risk?

• An individual with a personal history of cancer
• An individual with one or more family members diagnosed with cancer under the age of 50
• An individual with multiple family members possessing different cancers
• An individual with a family member who has had hereditary cancer genetic testing and variants were identified

Pharmacogenomics is the first step towards
"personalized medicine"

Pharmacogenomics or PGx is a genetic testing profile which analyzes genetic variations to determine how the body metabolizes many of the most common medications on the market today. PGx testing is one of the leading tools to help your healthcare provider determine the best medication for you which is why it is also commonly referred to as personalized medicine. Your healthcare provider will consider additional factors such as your age, lifestyle, other medications you are taking and your overall health when choosing the right treatment for you. A PGx test is a once in a life time application that is non-invasive with results available in as little as 7 days.

Adventus Labs offers PGx profiles in the following areas:

• Cardiology
• Psychiatry
• Pain Management
