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
