Prevention

As evidenced by 50 years of medical research of Gruppo San Donato, a careful preventive approach based on personalized check-ups and assessment of genetic, physical, nutritional, and environmental risk factors is essential for maintaining good health.

Promoting a healthy lifestyle, including physical activity and a balanced diet, and encouraging awareness of the impact of risk factors like smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, and stress are the main objectives of our prevention programs. The focus is on guiding the youth towards proactive measures for a healthy and long life. Longevity is considered a personal project to foster optimal conditions for the healthiest and longest life possible.

Check-up Genos

GENOS, the new Center for Personalized and Preventive Medicine at Ospedale San Raffaele, offers check-ups and innovative screening pathways to evaluate potential hazards in at-risk individuals. The goal is early diagnosis and the promotion of health and well-being, especially in the younger population. Data and experience acquired by Ospedale San Raffaele, which treats over 1.5 million patients annually, have enabled specialists to design highly specific pathways to intercept the onset of diseases from the very first signs.

 

The program offers comprehensive cardiovascular, urogynecological, radiological, neurological (functional), and oncological screening pathways tailored by gender, age, and risk factors. It also includes detailed general medicine and risk assessments based on family history.

 

Detailed questionnaires help define individual profiles in advance, identifying behaviors associated with unhealthy lifestyles. Patients can request an internal medicine appointment in person or online for a clinical assessment to recommend the best check-up pathway. The evaluation is free of charge for those who choose to continue with one of the prevention programs.

Genetic screening

Ospedale San Raffaele, with its extensive experience in genetic research and rare diseases, offers state-of-the-art genetic screening in the chosen pathway. After assessing the patient's family history, the internal medicine specialist proposes two types of genetic investigation:

  • comprehensive genetic screening: for patients without a family history of cancer;
  • oncological or specific genetic screening: for patients with a family history of cancer.

This genetic investigation uses advanced DNA sequencing technologies known as Next Generation Sequencing, allowing the analysis of millions of DNA fragments in parallel to gather extensive genetic information. The results enable San Raffaele’s medical team to identify the oncological risk profile of each patient in detail and develop a customized prevention pathway accordingly.

Executive Check-up

Executive check-up programs are aimed at the assessment of the overall health status and are available at Casa di Cura La Madonnina: highly exclusive private hospital in Milan located in the heart of the city.

Appointments, laboratory tests and diagnostic exams included in the Check-up are typically delivered during the same day and no overnight stay is required. For a day-long screening programs, a daily courtesy room is also available at an additional charge. These check-up programs represent a perfect combination of expertise, 5-star accommodation and efficiency in delivering medical services.
