You can do a lot right and still not know where you stand. Past sunburns, fair or freckled skin, lots of time outdoors, tanning bed use, or a family history can all raise questions, but they do not tell you your inherited risk.
This test estimates your long-term genetic predisposition to melanoma using a Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) from a saliva swab. It is not a diagnosis. It gives you clearer information to support decisions about sun protection, skin checks, and when screening may be worth prioritising.
If you want a more objective view of risk, this test offers a practical next step towards informed prevention.

What the Melanoma Cancer Risk test is for
Skin cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the UK, and melanoma is the deadliest form. But the good news? When caught early, almost 100% of cases are treatable (Cancer Research UK, 2023).
The Melanoma Cancer Risk Home Test Kit & Prevention Plan gives you the tools to act before symptoms appear. This is not a diagnosis—it’s a powerful look at your genetic predisposition to developing melanoma, using cutting-edge saliva-based DNA testing.
Once your sample is analysed, you’ll receive a Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) and a personalised prevention plan, crafted using the latest clinical insights to help you take smarter steps towards protecting your skin—and your health.
Whether you have a family history of melanoma, a fair skin type, or just want to stay one step ahead, this test empowers you to understand your risk and make informed choices.
