MELANOMA – KNOW YOUR RISK

If you have a family history of cancer, the disease may come from an inherited genetic change. Changes in the p16 gene increase cancer risk, making a melanoma diagnosis up to 50 times more likely by age 50.

Act Now to Reduce Your Risk of Cancer 

MELARIS® is a simple blood test to find out if you have the p16 mutation. Knowing the results may help you and your doctor act before cancer has a chance to develop.

"Education about hereditary melanoma and genetic testing changed my life."
