Cancer - HBOC Screening

Hereditary Breast & Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) Screening Philippines

Go Beyond BRCA And Better Understand Your Family's Cancer Risk

Not all hereditary breast and ovarian cancers are linked to BRCA1 and BRCA2 alone. Some families may carry genetic changes in other cancer-associated genes that can also increase the risk of developing certain cancers. Lablog's Hereditary Breast & Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) Screening is an expanded genetic screening panel designed to evaluate multiple genes associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndromes. By understanding your inherited risk earlier, you and your healthcare provider can make more informed decisions about future screening, prevention, and long-term health planning. Using advanced genomic technology and our ISO-certified partner laboratory, Lablog provides accessible and confidential hereditary cancer screening throughout the Philippines.

Who Should Consider HBOC Screening?

HBOC Screening may be suitable if:

Multiple relatives have had breast cancer

Multiple relatives have had ovarian cancer

Family members were diagnosed at a young age

Cancer has occurred across several generations

There are multiple cancer types within your family

You want broader insights beyond BRCA testing

Your healthcare provider recommended expanded screening

What Is HBOC?

What can HBOC screening help assess?

Breast Cancer

One of the most commonly inherited cancers associated with hereditary syndromes.

Ovarian Cancer

Early awareness may help support proactive healthcare planning.

Prostate Cancer

Certain hereditary cancer genes may also increase risk in men.

Pancreatic Cancer

Some inherited syndromes are associated with pancreatic cancer risk.

Additional Hereditary Cancer Risks

Expanded panels may include other clinically significant genes related to hereditary cancers.

HBOC stands for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. It refers to inherited genetic changes that may increase a person's lifetime risk of developing certain cancers. While BRCA1 and BRCA2 are the most recognized genes, other genes may also contribute to hereditary cancer risk. Expanded screening helps provide a broader picture of your inherited cancer predisposition.

More Personalized Screening

Doctors may recommend tailored screening plans.

Why Early Genetic Awareness Matters

Knowing your genetic risk may help support future healthcare decisions.

Knowledge can reduce uncertainty and help guide future decisions. Your genes do not determine your destiny. They provide information that can help you prepare.

Earlier Monitoring

Certain individuals may benefit from earlier surveillance.

BRCA vs HBOC

BRCA vs HBOC: What's The Difference?

If you're unsure which test is appropriate, our specialists can guide you.

Positive Result

BRCA Genetic Test

Focuses on BRCA1 and BRCA2 only. Focused risk assessment. Ideal for straightforward family histories. Entry-level hereditary cancer screening.

Negative Result

HBOC Screening

Evaluates multiple hereditary cancer genes. Expanded risk assessment. Ideal for complex or multiple family histories. Broader hereditary cancer evaluation.

Additional Benefits

What else can early HBOC awareness support?

Family Awareness: results may provide important information for family members

Better Prevention Strategies: long-term health plans can become more personalized

Greater Peace Of Mind: knowledge helps reduce uncertainty
