SPOTLIGHT

J

Screen, a national non-
profit public health initia-
tive based out of Emory 
University School of Medicine, 
supports Men’s Health Month 
this June. JScreen, which is 
dedicated to preventing genetic 
diseases and hereditary cancer, 
urges men everywhere to use 
this time of increased awareness 
to take control of their health. 
With Father’s Day and Men’s 
Health Month both falling in 
June, JScreen cannot over-
emphasize the importance of 
genetic testing to protect your-
self and your family. JScreen 
has been offering reproductive 
genetic testing to help couples 
have healthy babies since 2013. 
In addition, JScreen now offers 
a new CancerGEN test that 
assesses more than 60 cancer 

susceptibility genes associat-
ed with hereditary risks for 
prostate, colorectal, skin and 
many other types of cancer. The 
robust cancer panel includes 
genes that are actionable, mean-
ing steps can be taken to help 
prevent cancer if a person tests 
positive. This June, JScreen 
is working to ensure healthy 
futures for men and their fami-
lies across the U.S.
Statistics show that at least 
a third of all men will develop 
cancer during their lifetime, 
and that about 10% of cancer is 
related to genetic causes. One 
of the first steps to preventing 
cancer is knowing your heredi-
tary risk.
“To prevent cancer on a 
wide scale, accessible genetic 
testing is key,” says Jane Lowe 

Meisel, M.D., medical director 
for JScreen’s cancer program. 
“Cancer genetic testing makes 
prevention and early detection 
possible.”
Getting tested through 
JScreen is easy. All you have 
to do to receive your simple 
at-home test is sign up online 
at JScreen.org. You’ll then pro-
vide a saliva sample and use the 
pre-paid postage to mail it in. 
JScreen’s tests use state-of-the-
art genetic sequencing technol-
ogy to ensure highly accurate 
results. JScreen provides access 
to licensed genetic counselors 
who provide consults via phone 
or secure video conferencing 
to ensure you understand your 
results.
One of JScreen’s goals is to 
make testing affordable. With 

insurance, JScreen’s reproduc-
tive genetic test, ReproGEN, 
costs $149, and the CancerGEN 
test costs just $199.
The proof of JScreen’s passion 
for saving lives is in the incred-
ible stories they hear and the 
people who can now take action 
to avoid genetic diseases in 
their children or a future cancer 
diagnosis in themselves. 
“With so many stressors 
and uncertainties in the world, 
your health shouldn’t have to 
be one of them,” says Hillary 
Regelman, director of National 
Outreach and Marketing at 
JScreen.
