At Myriad, we believe in helping patients and their families to learn more about disease and how genetic testing can improve their understanding of risk factors, diagnosis, survival and treatment options.
Providing accurate, up-to-date information and support is part of our commitment to patients. In addition to sharing real patient stories and information on patient support groups, we have a website dedicated to helping patients find comprehensive information about hereditary cancer syndromes – what they are, what the risks are and what patients can do.
We have also developed several tools to help patients determine whether they should be evaluated for a hereditary cancer syndrome.
- The Hereditary Cancer Quiz (takes less than 30 seconds)
- The Family History Tool (provides a detailed result of personal and family history)
Myriad also invites patients and their families to join the conversation on Facebook or Twitter.
