MyRisk® Hereditary Cancer Test

Determine your patient’s best treatment options with germline testing

The MyRisk Hereditary Cancer Test helps you get the clarity you need to determine the best surgical and treatment options for your patient in 14 days or less. The multi-gene panel analyzes risk for 11 cancers to determine if your patient has a germline genetic mutation associated with an increased cancer risk.

Germline testing can help guide treatment for your patient

Gain clarity beyond tumor testing

Somatic testing alone can have some limitations including unknown variants, limited tumor tissue, and missed large rearrangements. Germline testing gives you the clarity you need to guide treatment decisions, including targeted therapies and surgical techniques.

Guidelines recommend germline

NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) recommend germline testing in the workup for patients diagnosed with, or after confirmation of, ovarian, breast, pancreatic, prostate, and colon cancer.1

Identify risk of secondary cancers

A MyRisk germline test can provide comprehensive insights to help you and your patient reduce the occurrence of a subsequent primary cancer.

Clarity through leading variant classification

Studies have shown that over 1/3 of conflicting variant classifications may alter patients’ medical management.2 Our tests have provided definitive classification for up to 63% of variants that other labs could not.3

RNA analysis reduces the rate of uncertain variants

Myriad offers RNA analysis to all patients with an eligible variant of unknown significance (VUS) after MyRisk testing is complete. Myriad will notify the healthcare provider when RNA analysis could help classify variants, giving providers and patients access to this valuable tool regardless of when, where, or how their MyRisk test was submitted.
