Septin9 (Colon Cancer Screening Test) in Barcelona

The analysis of the methylated Septin9 gene in blood (mSept9) allows for early diagnosis of colon cancer. The survival rate for this disease depends on the stage at which the tumor is detected, which is why early detection is crucial.

Therefore, Operarme and its partner centers recommend the Septin9 Colon Cancer Early Detection Test in the following cases:

• Patients over 50 years old. In general, all men and women who fall into the medium-risk group for colorectal cancer.
• People with a family history. Individuals concerned about colorectal cancer, regardless of their age, who have had cancer or have a family history of risk.

On the other hand, the Septin9 colon cancer test is not recommended in the following cases:

• Pregnant women, as pregnancy can affect the result. The Septin9 gene also seems to be involved in normal embryonic development.
• Individuals with high risk of colorectal cancer.

A medical prescription is an essential requirement to perform the Septin9 Colon Cancer Screening Test. Additionally, it is important to clarify that this medical test does not replace a colonoscopy.

A colonoscopy remains the diagnostic and follow-up test, also recommended for individuals with personal and family history of the disease.

After purchasing the Septin9 Colon Cancer Prevention Test, you will receive an email with a voucher for the early detection test. With this voucher, you can visit the Laboratorio Unilabs - Barcelona (Av. de la Riera de Cassoles) in Barcelona.

The Septin9 test is performed using a blood sample. This avoids the complexities and discomforts associated with other types of colon cancer tests. Furthermore, no special preparation is needed, such as fasting or dietary or medication restrictions.

To undergo the Septin9 Test, the following is required:

• A medical prescription for the Septin9 Colon Cancer Screening Test.
• Visit the center so that geneticists can collect the blood sample.
• A blood sample of 10–15 milliliters will be taken.
• Sign the specific request form and consent for information.

The results of this medical test will determine the most appropriate course of action for your case.

The genetics team will explain how to access the results:

• They will provide you with an access code to enter your private area.
• From there, you can check the status of the results report.
• If the results are not available, the status will show as "pending."
• Finally, they will give you the phone number of the laboratory where you had the test, in case you have any questions while waiting for the results.

After 17 days from the test, the laboratory will send the results. You will have the option of a telephone consultation with a genetic counselor, who will explain the implications of the results.

In addition to the blood sample and analysis, the telephone consultation with the genetic counselor is included in the price of the test. During the consultation, the geneticist will explain how to interpret the results.

The Septin9 Colon Cancer Prevention Test successfully detects tumors in their early stages. In fact, when detected in the early stages, colon cancer survival rates exceed 90% – 95%.
