New blood test breakthrough advances early detection and prevention in hereditary cancer
A groundbreaking new blood test developed by BC Cancer is changing how families identify and manage inherited cancer risk, eliminating unnecessary testing on one side of a family while bringing life-saving clarity to the other.
BC Cancer scientists have developed a world-first technology, Parent-of-Origin-Aware Genomic Analysis (POAga) which can determine, with 98% accuracy, whether a cancer-causing gene mutation was inherited from a patient's mother or father – using only a single blood sample.
BC Cancer Foundation is the fundraising partner of BC Cancer, which includes BC Cancer Research. Together with our donors, we are changing cancer outcomes for British Columbians by funding innovative research and personalized treatment and care.
