Genetic Studies

A genetic test or genetic study is a laboratory test performed to analyze genes. Genes are the instructions contained in DNA that we inherit from our parents. Sometimes these instructions contain variants or defects known as mutations that can predispose, cause, or be one of the causes of health problems and various diseases.

The results obtained from a genetic test can be useful for the prevention, diagnosis, and prognosis of a disease:

Prevention: Helps identify changes that predispose to certain diseases.

Diagnosis and prognosis: A pathology may progress differently depending on the mutation (totally or partially) causing it.

It helps determine the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease.

Treatment and therapy: It can determine the most effective treatment to follow.

Family study and heredity: A genetic test determines the risk of your relatives suffering from the disease or being carriers.

Services We Offer

  • Early detection: Begins with a complete and thorough physical examination, as well as an analysis of the medical, family, and personal history. Additionally, laboratory studies of blood, urine, and stool are conducted; these can provide additional information about body parameters that may indicate the presence of cancer.
  • Evaluating abnormal results: Imaging studies, such as X-rays, CT scans, or ultrasounds, are requested, and if necessary, a biopsy and tests are performed to determine if the cells found are cancerous.

  • Stratifying cancer: Based on all the analyses and studies performed, the presence of cancer is confirmed, and then it is stratified, meaning determining what stage it is in and recording the diagnosis.

  • Cancer treatment: Depending on the specific situation of each patient, different options can be utilized, such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and immunotherapy.

  • Post-treatment monitoring and recurrence: Follow-up on the treatment and recurrent studies to confirm the absence of cancerous cells.

  • Palliative care: Support for the patient to improve their quality of life and contribute to pain relief.

  • Nutritional support.

  • Psychological support.
  • Attention to each patient by a multidisciplinary team of specialists who analyze and agree on the best treatment options for each case.

  • A laboratory and imaging area that includes MRI, CT scan, mammography, sonography, conventional and portable X-rays, among others.

  • Support from the blood bank for blood transfusions required by patients.

  • Histopathology services for the analysis of tissues removed during surgery that allow for accurate diagnosis.

  • Surgical areas specially equipped for performing any type of surgery that the patient requires.

    -Hormonal therapy for the treatment of certain types of cancer.

  • Immunotherapy to help stimulate the body’s natural defenses that allow it to fight the disease. 

  • Access to cutting-edge technologies, unique in the western part of the country for the treatment of cancer.

  • Radiotherapy with Linear Accelerator, which ensures patient safety through greater precision, thus reducing the risks of damage to nearby organs.

  • Chemotherapy, administered in independent compartments, under the supervision of highly qualified personnel and with the support of all the infrastructure offered by Hospital San Javier.

  • Stereotactic brain surgery without a scalpel, through the Gamma Knife Perfexion Unit, which allows treating tumors in a single session, reducing risks and reintegrating the patient to their quality of life prior to treatment immediately.
