Hereditary Cancer Screening in Waunakee, WI

Hereditary Cancer Screening scaled

Personalized Genetic Cancer Screening

Understanding your risk is an important first step toward making informed decisions about your long-term health. At LOURE Aesthetics and Wellness, we offer advanced genetic cancer screening in Waunakee, WI, through the MyRisk® Hereditary Cancer Test, an innovative approach that offers detailed, personalized insights rather than a straightforward yes-or-no answer.

Did you know that 1 in 4 people has a personal or family history that could increase their cancer risk? Many hereditary cancers are difficult to detect until they have progressed to later stages, which is why early awareness and a personalized care plan make all the difference. Our cancer risk assessment is designed to give you clear, actionable information so you and your healthcare team can make informed decisions now, rather than waiting for symptoms to appear.

Jen Schmidt, PAC, leads our genetic testing program, guiding you through every step of the process with expertise and compassion. Whether your family history raises concerns or you simply want to understand your genetic profile, LOURE Aesthetics and Wellness is here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Benefits of Hereditary Cancer Screening

The MyRisk® test offers far more than a standard panel.
Here is what you can expect from cancer risk assessment at LOURE Aesthetics and Wellness:

Understanding the MyRisk® Process

Most genetic cancer tests return only a binary result. MyRisk® takes a more comprehensive approach to cancer genetics screening by combining genetic analysis with your personal and family history to generate a personalized risk score.

  • Pre-Screen: Scan the provided barcode to complete an online questionnaire about your personal and family history of cancer.
  • Consultation & Order: Jen Schmidt, PAC, reviews your history. If you qualify based on risk, most insurance plans cover the kit completely (90% of patients pay $0 out of pocket). If you don’t qualify but still want the test, a $249 direct-pay option is available.
  • Blood Draw: Jen coordinates your initial appointment and blood draw, then forwards your sample to Myriad Genetics.
  • Cost Estimate: Before processing, Myriad Genetics sends you a Clear Cost Estimate (typically $0 to $249). You are under no obligation to proceed until you approve this cost.
  • Results & Planning: About two weeks later, you will meet with Jen to review your personalized risk report and build a proactive management plan to share with your primary care provider.

 

Please note that these results are not a medical diagnosis. Instead, they provide an actionable risk profile that empowers you to make informed decisions about your long-term health.

FAQs

Genetic testing helps determine whether you carry inherited gene changes that may influence your risk of developing certain types of cancer. It is recommended for anyone with a personal or family history of cancer, though it is also available to patients without that history who want a comprehensive understanding of their genetic cancer risk.

Most genetic cancer tests provide only a positive or negative result. MyRisk® adds RiskScore® to your panel, generating a personalized risk report that includes a 5-year and lifetime breast cancer risk estimate. It is also the only cancer genetics screening test designed to deliver accurate results for patients of all ancestries.

The test screens for 63 gene variations associated with 11 cancer types: breast, ovarian, uterine, prostate, pancreatic, colorectal, skin, gastric, renal, lung, and endocrine cancers. Many of these cancers are difficult to detect in early stages, making this level of genetic testing for cancer risk especially valuable.

Most insurance plans cover the MyRisk® kit, and approximately 90% of patients pay nothing. A Clear Cost Estimate will be provided by Myriad Genetics before results are finalized, so you will know your exact cost before committing. For patients with no personal or family history of cancer, the direct pay price is $249.

Jen Schmidt will meet with you for a post-consultation appointment approximately two weeks after your blood draw. She will review your personalized risk report in detail and help you develop a management consideration plan to share with your primary care provider. If your results are concerning, you will also have access to board-certified genetic counselors through our partnership with Myriad Genetics.

No. Your MyRisk® results represent a risk profile, not a medical diagnosis. They are designed to give you and your healthcare team a clearly defined picture of your genetic cancer risk so you can make proactive decisions about monitoring, lifestyle changes, or medical management.
