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.

MyRisk testing provides you with clear results you can trust

MyRisk germline testing assesses 48 genes linked to one or more of 11 cancer sites. The results will list specific mutations found, including variants of uncertain significance (VUS). A summary of medical society guidelines to guide and optimize treatment decisions will also be provided in the MyRisk Management Tool (MMT).

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.

MyRisk STAT:

Right surgery. Right answer. Right now.

There should not be a trade-off between turnaround time and receiving an accurate, comprehensive risk assessment when determining surgical treatment for patients. MyRisk STAT was developed for trusted results without the wait.

  • When you order MyRisk STAT germline testing for breast cancer patients, you will receive the report for the 10 breast cancer genes within 5-12 calendar days.
  • MyRisk STAT germline testing for pancreatic cancer patients can give you faster results for BRCA 1/2, PALB2 and 7 other genes in 5-12 calendar days.

In addition to the 10 STAT genes, all MyRisk STAT orders will receive the full Myriad MyRisk Hereditary Cancer Panel report in 14 days or less.
