Health check packages

The most effective way to stay healthy is to prevent disease. Our health check packages are a way to get a comprehensive overview of your health.

The packages include an assessment of your individual health risks and indicators and provide recommendations on how to take even better care of your health or alleviate existing conditions. In the event of anomalies, you will be referred for further examinations and/or appointments with our experienced doctors and specialists.

Personalised cancer prevention for women

Look for appointment times

In collaboration with Antegenes, we offer a personalised cancer prevention service for women, based on genetic predisposition assessment. The service can be used to assess the genetic risk of breast cancer, colorectal cancer and skin melanoma. It is also possible to conduct the tests as a package. Based on the personal risk level, the tests provide medical and practical recommendations for cancer prevention and early detection. The service also includes interpretation of the test results and further recommendations at the Confido Digital Clinic.

As a result of the test, you will receive an individual medical report, which will tell you:

  • what your genetic risk level is for the specific type of cancer;
  • at what age and how you should start cancer screening;
  • what additional measures you can take to prevent cancer;
  • what you can do yourself to reduce your risk of cancer;
  • what changes or symptoms you should pay attention to for these cancers.

The tests are based on polygenic risk score technology. A polygenic (the interaction of several genes) risk can be high even if there is no family history of cancer.

Package for women – Genetic cancer risk test (assessment of three cancers)

  • Includes genetic risk tests for breast cancer, colorectal cancer and skin melanoma.
  • Recommended for all women aged 35-75.

It is also possible to test for a specific type of cancer – Genetic cancer risk test (assessment of one cancer)

Personalised breast cancer prevention
  • Includes the breast cancer genetic risk test AnteBC.
  • Recommended for women aged 30-75.
  • Analyses 2803 genetic variants.

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumour in women. Over 900 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in Estonia each year. One in five breast cancers is diagnosed in women under 50 who never reach screening.

Only 49% of breast cancers are detected at an early stage. However, early detection of the disease is crucial, as the chance of curing breast cancer detected early is over 90%. Breast cancer can progress in the early stages without clear symptoms, so regular check-ups are necessary.

Personalised colorectal cancer prevention
  • Includes the colorectal cancer genetic risk test AnteCRC.
  • Recommended for women aged 40-75.
  • Analyses 91 genetic variants.

Colorectal cancer is a common disease that affects women and men equally. It develops slowly and may be asymptomatic in its early stages. Colorectal cancer is the most common cause of cancer deaths among people under 60.

In 50% of cases, colorectal cancer is advanced at the time of diagnosis, which means the prognosis is poor. Advanced stage colorectal cancer is often difficult to treat, which is why prevention is vital.

However, 55% of colorectal cancer cases are preventable. Colorectal cancer can be prevented through a personalised approach and early detection.

Personalised skin melanoma prevention
  • Includes the skin melanoma genetic risk test AnteMEL.
  • Recommended for women aged 18-70.
  • Analyses 28 genetic variants.

Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer and its incidence is increasing rapidly. Melanoma is the second most common cancer in younger people (15-29 years old).

Melanoma often develops in areas that have been repeatedly sunburned, but it can also occur in protected areas of the skin. Regular skin checks and monitoring of changes are key. If melanoma is detected at an early stage, the chance of recovery is over 90%.

What is the service based on?
  • The service is based on polygenic risk score technology and up-to-date research.
  • The polygenic risk score takes into account the combined effect of hundreds or thousands of gene variants that influence the risk of developing a specific type of cancer.
  • The genetic tests are developed by the Estonian health technology company Antegenes. The tests comply with the regulations for clinical use. All tests are CE-marked in vitro medical devices (IVDs) registered with the Health Board.
Test procedure and results:
  • To perform the test, you must provide a sample from the cheek mucosa with a cotton swab, from which your DNA is extracted. This is a painless and simple procedure.
  • The results will arrive within six weeks and will remain available in your
  • From the report you will find out your risk assessments and precise instructions for further preventive check-ups and
  • The service also includes a Confido Digital Clinic consultation for interpreting your test results and receiving further recommendations. Use the code provided by the nurse when booking your appointment.

Important to know

  • The polygenic risk score is not used to diagnose cancer. An elevated risk assessed by the test does not mean that you will definitely develop the specific cancer in your lifetime. Similarly, a medium or low risk does not completely rule out the possibility of cancer.
  • The test does not assess the risks of your family members and relatives, i.e. disease risks based on the polygenic risk score may not be directly inherited from parents to children.
  • The polygenic risk score test does not analyse rare pathogenic mutations in individual genes that increase cancer risk.
  • The results of these tests should be considered in the context of other relevant clinical data. In addition to a possible genetic predisposition, other risk factors influence the risk of cancer.
