practices and oncology-specific institutions.TheProlaris test from
Myriad Genetics is the only biomarker test on the market with an
Active Surveillance Threshold that has been clinically validated
and proven to work in initially untreated patients.
Job Responsibilities and Competencies
The clinical challenge facing physicians and their patients newly
diagnosed with prostate cancer is whether to choose definitive
therapy such as surgery or radiation, which have potentially
significant complications, or to monitor the patient's cancer
through active surveillance or watchful waiting. Unfortunately,
existing clinical parameters (PSA, Gleason score, and stage) used
to make this difficult decision do not adequately predict which
cancers are indolent or aggressive, resulting in both under
treatment and overtreatment of men with prostate cancer.
Myriad Genetic Laboratories discovered and validated Prolaris, a
novel RNA expression-based prognostic test, to fulfil this pressing
unmet clinical need. Prolaris directly measures tumor cell growth
characteristics in order to stratify patients with localized
prostate cancer according to disease aggressiveness. More than 700
urologists and urologic oncologists in the U.S. have used the test
to identify both low-risk patients who may be monitored through
active surveillance or watchful waiting, as well as high-risk
patients who may benefit from earlier definitive treatment.
Prolaris is the only molecular test in its category with 6
peer-reviewed publications supporting its clinical validity and two
forthcoming publications that demonstrate significant change in
treatment selections as a result of the test.
