Oncology sponsored testing programs
Invitae partners with biopharma companies to offer sponsored testing for patients who meet eligibility criteria
BRCA Care
Pfizer has partnered with Invitae to offer the BRCA Care genetic testing program, which provides sponsored, no-charge germline BRCA (gBRCA) testing for patients diagnosed with HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (HER2- LA/mBC).
Testing for germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 disease-causing variants at diagnosis of locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer may help inform treatment planning. NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines In Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) recommend that all patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer should be assessed for gBRCA1 and gBRCA2 mutations to identify candidates for PARP-inhibitor therapy.1

The Detect Hereditary Pancreatic Cancer program provides sponsored, no-charge genetic testing and counseling for individuals diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
More than 56,000 adult Americans are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer annually and it is the fourth leading cause of cancer death among U.S. adults. The Detect Hereditary Pancreatic Cancer program is designed to identify patients with pancreatic cancer who may be eligible for precision therapies and surgical treatment options based on germline genetic test results.
Detect Hereditary Prostate Cancer
The Detect Hereditary Prostate Cancer genetic testing program provides sponsored, no-charge genetic testing and counseling for individuals diagnosed with prostate cancer stage II and above.
Prostate cancer is the leading cancer in males.
