Myriad showcases its pioneering research at the 2015 ASCO Annual Meeting
19 presentations will highlight Myriad's expanding portfolio of transformative diagnostic tests
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, May 13, 2015 - Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYGN) today announced it will present data from 19 clinical studies at the 2015 American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting to be held May 29 to June 2, 2015 in Chicago, Ill. Key podium presentations will highlight new prospective research programs with advanced companion diagnostic and molecular diagnostic tests aimed at revolutionizing how we treat and prevent cancers. Abstracts of the Company's presentations are available at: abstracts.asco.org.
"Advances in personalized medicine will include selecting effective pharmaceuticals (companion diagnostics), preventing disease (hereditary caner tests) and in optimizing treatment decisions (prognostic tests). This meeting showcases our pioneering research in these three areas of personalized medicine. In companion diagnostics, the myChoice™ HRD test can transform the way we personalize treatment plans for ovarian and breast cancers today and many other cancers in the future," said Mark Capone, president Myriad Genetic Laboratories. "Another critical goal for personalized medicine is to prevent cancer. Our myRisk™ hereditary cancer panel test does just that by analyzing 25 genes associated with eight common hereditary cancers. Lastly, our prognostic tests demonstrate advances in optimizing treatments decisions in prostate cancer and lung cancer. As a pioneer in the field of personalized medicine, we remain firmly committed to scientific progress through outstanding research that can ultimately benefit patients."
