Why earlier
detection matters.

Detecting cancer early may improve treatment options and clinical outcomes. When cancer is identified before it has spread, treatment can be less extensive and may be more effective. Early detection, together with appropriate medical assessment, supports timely diagnosis and informed treatment decisions.

01

Family history

If you have a family history of cancer, know your risk factors
If a parent, sibling, or child has been diagnosed with pancreatic or ovarian cancer, their lifetime risk may be significantly elevated. Early knowledge is a clinical advantage.
02

Genetic risk

Understanding your genetic risk
Your genes can influence your likelihood of developing certain cancers. For some people, inherited genetic risk can help inform discussions with your healthcare provider about whether additional screening, risk assessment or genetic counselling may be appropriate based on your individual circumstances.

Clincian-led care

Your risk assessment starts with a conversation by a doctor

Understanding your personal risk factors starts with a conversation. Taking the time to speak with your GP or making a telehealth appointment is one of the most important steps you can take to better understand your health.

Your GP can discuss your personal and family medical history, lifestyle, and any concerns you may have, helping to identify factors that may influence your health and guide you on the most appropriate next steps for your individual circumstances.
