A single blood test that can reveal a person's susceptibility to cancer and identify any potentially cancer-causing genes - that is the futuristic promise made by genetic testing.
It is the reason a female executive from Wuhan, surnamed Chen, recently spent 40,000 yuan ($5,925) on a genetic test report, according to local media.
She was drawn by advertisements that proclaimed the test could help "pre-emotively prevent potential cancers".
