Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ:MYGN)

TAMPA, FL, UNITED STATES, August 23, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- [TAMPA, FL, August 10, 2022] — Clarified Precision Medicine today announced a partnership with Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYGN) to advance the interpretation and integration of genetic insights to guide clinical care and improve patient outcomes. Through the partnership, healthcare providers using Myriad’s Precise™ Oncology Solutions–a comprehensive suite offering germline testing, tumor molecular profiling and companion diagnostic testing–will have access to precision oncology expertise through a newly formed Molecular Tumor Board.

The Molecular Tumor Board will meet virtually once a month and is comprised of Clarified and Myriad clinical experts who will provide state-of-the-art, evidence-based assessments of cancer treatment cases. Providers can submit a request to have cases reviewed via Myriad’s "MTB" website. In addition, providers using Precise have access to Clarified’s peer-to-peer consultation service, allowing them to get direct support with interpreting and acting on Myriad molecular testing results.

“Precision medicine is highly specialized like many healthcare fields,” said Dr. Howard McLeod, an internationally renowned precision oncologist. “When a patient gets a CT scan, a radiologist reads the images and provides an interpretation, in addition to the primary physician. We want to deliver this same level of expert review for genomic medicine. We want to make sure someone has the healthcare team’s back, providing robust, evidence-based treatment options for complex cases.”

“Cancer outcomes are improving through advanced therapy matching realized by recent advances in molecular testing. Myriad’s goal is to help providers simplify testing and results so they can focus on what’s most important—taking the best care of their patients,” said Thomas Slavin, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Myriad Genetics. “The case discussions with Clarified’s precision oncology team of experts will promote efficient, cutting edge cancer care.”
