Myriad Genetics and Lumea Collaborate to Enhance Access to the Prolaris Biomarker and MyRisk Hereditary Cancer Tests through BxLink Integration
February 05 2025 - 7:30AM
Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYGN), a leader in genetic and
genomic tumor testing and precision medicine, and Lumea Inc., a
leader in digital pathology solutions, have signed an agreement to
integrate Myriad’s advanced molecular diagnostic tests — Prolaris®
Prostate Cancer Test and MyRisk® Hereditary Cancer Test – into
Lumea’s digital pathology platform, BxLink™.
This collaboration will streamline the ordering and delivery of
molecular tests, enabling healthcare providers to electronically
order and track Prolaris and MyRisk tests, with results delivered
directly within BxLink’s intuitive platform. By replacing manual
processes, the integration will reduce errors and aims to deliver
molecular testing results to clinicians in an average of under 10
days after specimen collection.
“Clinicians need ready access to molecular diagnostic tools at
the point of care to improve cancer outcomes,” said George Daneker,
Jr., MD, President and Chief Clinical Officer, Oncology, Myriad
Genetics. “Prolaris — included in the recent NCCN Clinical Practice
Guidelines in Oncology for Prostate Cancer (NCCN Guidelines®)i —
quantifies prostate cancer aggressiveness to guide treatment
decisions at cancer diagnosis, while MyRisk evaluates 48 genes
associated with hereditary cancer risk to guide treatments and
identify risks to family members. This collaboration with Lumea
ensures precision-based insights are delivered in a timely fashion
when they’re needed most to empower patients and providers to make
informed decisions.”
“This integration simplifies workflows for physicians,” said Jim
Pack, CEO of Lumea. “With fewer clicks and reduced data entry,
clinicians can seamlessly order Myriad’s advanced tests, access
actionable results within the platform they trust, and deliver
personalized care. These insights can unlock advanced treatment
options, targeted therapies, and clinical trials, driving improved
patient outcomes.”
