At My Clinic we want to encourage our clients to make maximum use of preventive screening examinations. We also help clients achieve a healthy lifestyle, which plays an undeniable role in cancer prevention.
"Up to a third of cancers can be avoided through lifestyle changes." says Dr. Kateřina Krejčí, head of My Clinic´s general and internal medicine department.
The foundation of good preventive care is regular contact with a general practitioner, who will also assess the client's family and personal history relating to cancer and individual lifestyle risk factors. These especially include smoking, excessive alcohol intake, obesity, and insufficient dietary fibre, as well as work-related exposure to harmful substances.
CANCER SCREENING PROGRAMMELaboratory tests and the dermatological examination may be carried out during the first visit. The second visit, including evaluation of the results by a GP / internist, should take place no earlier than two days after the laboratory testing.

The results are compiled in 4–6 weeks into a final report that, in the case of a negative result, will be communicated to the client by a My Clinic doctor. If there is a positive result, an in-person or on-line consultation will take place with the doctor/geneticist from the genetics lab.
The price for genetic testing is CZK 23,000.
BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENTOncogenetics consists of testing for predisposition to cancer that aims to determine whether there is an inborn, hereditary risk of certain types of cancer in the family, to specify the genetic risk for family members, and to recommend suitable preventive measures.
Most often, changes in these genes are related to a higher risk of cancer of the breast, ovaries, uterus, large intestine, stomach, prostate, and malignant melanomas. However, there are also a number of other types of cancer where there is increased risk due to an inherited genetic mutation.
This testing is performed starting at age 18.
