Benefits of COLARIS AP® Testing

COLARIS AP uses the most sensitive and specific methods of analysis to identify adenomatous polyposis syndromes (FAP, AFAP, and MAP). In addition to facilitating a proactive management approach with identified at-risk patients, COLARIS AP® genetic testing enables you to:

  • Target increased surveillance and other interventions only to individuals with the APC or MYH gene mutations—maximizing patient care and increasing clinical efficiency
  • Counsel patients and family members on the underlying cause of the cancer
  • Avoid unnecessary interventions involving family members who do not test positive for the mutation(s)
  • Proactively treat patients due to the near certainty of mutation carriers developing cancer
  • Differentiate between AFAP, MAP, and Lynch syndrome
  • Significantly improve outcomes and reduce medical costs through early diagnosis and treatment of cancer, should it develop
    • An individual’s risk for developing colorectal cancer can be reduced by nearly 100% with appropriate preventive measures in FAP26
