HRR Insight
A genomic test that looks for mutations in homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes, which influence how some cancers respond to targeted therapies. It is used to help guide treatment in cancers such as prostate and ovarian cancer.

When to get this test
Guiding targeted therapy
Identifies HRR gene mutations that may make a cancer suitable for PARP inhibitor treatment.
Prostate and ovarian cancers
Often used in advanced prostate, ovarian, and related cancers to inform therapy choices.
Personalised treatment planning
Supports individualised decisions based on the cancer's genetic profile.
How to prepare
01
No special preparation needed.
02
Bring any relevant pathology or prior test reports if available.
Common questions
How long do results take?
Results are typically ready within 14 to 21 days due to the genomic sequencing involved.
Do I need to fast?
No fasting is required for this test.
What is the difference from an HRD test?
An HRR test focuses on mutations in specific repair genes, while an HRD test also looks at broader signs of genomic instability in the tumour.
