Welcome to PROACT!
PROACT stands for Preventive Risk Outreach And Cascade Testing. Our goal is to help families learn about cancer risk & how to protect themselves from cancer.
You were referred to PROACT by your Genetic Counselor at Stanford. Sign in if you already have a PROACT account.
How PROACT Works
STEP 1
Your genetic counselor refers you to the PROACT program. The referral includes: information about cancer risk in your family & the family members who could benefit the most from PROACT.
STEP 2
You use the PROACT program to:
Share information with your family about cancer risk and offer your family members the choice to get low-cost, at-home, saliva (spit) genetic testing.
STEP 3
Your family members can use PROACT to:
Learn about family cancer risk and genetic testing and decide if they would like genetic testing and counseling to learn about their personal cancer risk and how to protect themselves from cancer.
PROACT offers a new way for families to:
Learn about cancer risk and how to protect themselves from cancer
Get access to low-cost, at home, saliva (spit) genetic testing
PROACT makes learning about cancer risk easy for you and your family members.
