Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic Cancer

An Overview

Pancreatic cancer develops in the tissues of your pancreas. Several types of growths can begin in the pancreas, which include cancerous and noncancerous tumors. The most common type of pancreatic cancer begins in cells that line the ducts that carry digestive enzymes away from the pancreas. Pancreatic cancer is seldom detected in the early stages as it usually exhibits no symptoms until it has spread to other organs.

Risk Factors

Genetic Screening Limitations

Genetic screening can indicate whether an individual has a predisposition, or is at an increased likelihood, of having an inherited disease or disorder. However, it cannot indicate if the individual will show symptoms, how severe the symptoms will be, or whether the disease or disorder will progress over time.

A negative test result does not mean that an individual will not get an inherited disease or disorder because Qodify Genetic Screening tests are designed to detect only highly significant genetic markers which have been documented during medical research. Environmental and lifestyle factors also play a role in the development of inherited diseases, disorders, and even traits. In addition, the Qodify carrier test results are not intended to inform an individual of any risks for developing a disease, the health of the unborn child, or the child’s risk of developing the disease.

The results generated from Qodify genetic screening tests, which includes all additional health related information, is meant for informational purposes only and not an indicator of an individual’s current or future health status, nor a diagnosis for any disease, disorder, condition or other health issues. The information provided in the test results should be confirmed with a doctor or a healthcare professional in a clinical setting before any further action is to be taken – including the treatment, and type and quantity of prescription medicines to be taken (even if indicated in the drug response test results).

Healthpro Marketing Sdn Bhd does not guarantee or warrant the recommendation, diagnosis, therapy, treatment, medication, device, action or strategy of any individuals with relation to our genetic screening test results or any part of our website content. The recommendation given in the test results is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for, nor does it replace any professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It is advisable not to avoid, disregard or delay seeking and obtaining medical advice from qualified healthcare providers due to information which may have been obtained from any Qodify genetic screening test results.
