Well, it’s official. After doing the blood 🩸 draw and the doctor sending it off to My Risk...I am officially not at risk for ovarian cancer or breast cancer. I don’t have the genes. It doesn’t mean I will never get those cancers - it means I’m not genetically 🧬 at risk for them. And since my mom died of ovarian cancer - that’s a big deal. I’m very thankful the results came back this way. And I will always wish that mom was still with us. I thought of mom a lot yesterday while skiing 🎿 She and I were at @huffhillsskiarea quite a few times together, but there was one time when I was older, probably a teenager, that we just spent the afternoon together focusing on the less-used green lift runs that specifically went through the trees. It was so fun speeding through the silent snow with her. Most of the time it was just us two and no one else on those runs. It was an adventure and I’ll never forget what a wonderful time we had together there. I’m thankful that my results were good. But I wish mom’s had been better. 💛 #outhereontheprairie #cancer #ovariancancer #cancersucks #myrisk #geneticscreening (at North Dakota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ruJngHKOi/?igshid=txelpyktdfa8

It’s Movember. Have You Gotten Screened For Cancer Yet?

It’s Movember. Have You Gotten Screened For Cancer Yet?

November is National Family Health History Month, but it’s also the month when we celebrate “Movember”. The mission of Movember is to bring awareness to men worldwide to get screened for the deadly diseases, including prostate cancer, which is now the second leading form of cancer in the United States.

Now, one of the global leaders in genetic testing wants to make it known that cancer prevention and detection should be a year-round process.

Myriad Genetics, the team that discovered the BRCA gene mutation and subsequently developed the test taken by actress Angelina Jolie, is now working to educate men on the importance of being screened. Myriad’s approach focuses on its myRisk Hereditary Cancer Test. The test utilizes sophisticated technologies and proprietary algorithms to evaluate 28 clinically significant genes associated with eight hereditary cancer sites, including the prostate. The test can help determine your risk of not only contracting cancer, but also passing it to your children.

An easy place to begin to learn about your chances, Myriad suggests, is by taking the Hereditary Cancer Quiz.

“The message we need to get out is that hereditary cancer is not just about women,” says Johnathan Lancaster, M.D., Ph.D, Myriad’s chief medical officer. “It’s about men, too. If you have prostate cancer and have a higher-grade tumor based upon Gleason score of seven or greater and any family history of cancer, this means that you should talk to your physician about genetic screening.”

Technology has made our daily fitness lives almost automatic. We can track calories burned, heart rate, miles run, even stress levels—right on our wrists—and then observe the results on our phones. And yet some of the same fitness-minded individuals rely strictly on the “it runs in the family” method of cancer detection (if they even check it at all). You know how it goes: My father had cancer, his father had cancer; therefore, I’m probably going to get it. It’s not what you call a highly scientific method of screening in this age of precision medicine. Myriad is hoping to change that type of thinking.

“It’s not just about telling people why they developed cancer,” Lancaster says. “It’s also about reassuring people in those families that if they have not yet developed cancer and didn’t inherit one of these genes, that they’re not at increased risk compared to the general population.”

Lancaster suggests people affected with cancer—and even those unaffected—should talk to their doctor about their family history of cancer. If they meet medical society guidelines for hereditary cancer risk assessment, their doctor will order a myRisk test, which means a referral is not needed. Yes, it can help in detection, but in the event you are diagnosed with cancer, your treatment can be custom-made to fit the type of cancer you have, which is a relatively new breakthrough, considering it was just a few decades ago all cancers were treated in a one-size-fits-all procedure.

“Precision medicine is taking the guess work out,” Lancaster says. “Historically, we treated everyone like they were exactly the same, even though we know everyone was different. Our genetics are different, our tumors are different. But historically, we treated all breast cancers the same, or all prostate cancers the same.”

Getting a test is easy and only requires a standard office visit to collect either a blood or saliva sample from the patient. The results usually are available within 10 days. Once the results are in, your doctor will schedule a follow-up visit to discuss the results and any implications for medical management.

Patients can get more information by visiting hcquiz.com (an online quiz that helps patients assess if they’re a candidate for testing) or by going to Myriad.com.

基因检测：我们真的想知道结果吗？

基因检测：我们真的想知道结果吗？ http://ift.tt/2tgrNj5

这是我永生难忘的通话之一。我妈妈的大哥、我们家的实际领袖约翰(John)舅舅打电话告诉我他得了前列腺癌。那是2006年的冬天，当时我们还没充分意识到他病情的严重性，但很快他的身体明显变得非常糟糕。他一年内就去世了，享年64岁。

在约翰舅舅的诊断出来后不久，他的两个弟弟也接受了前列腺癌检查，发现他们也患有这种病。艾伦(Alan)舅舅又活了10年，但去年年初，他在与食道癌抗争了很短一段时间后去世了，那时他刚过完59岁生日没几周。比尔(Bill)舅舅排行老二，他也康复了，但后来他的一个肾上长了一处恶性肿瘤，上个月做了单侧肾切除手术。

我们家族的人都坚信自己会受到这种遗传性诅咒的折磨。在我们了解到前列腺癌和卵巢癌之间存在明显的基因联系后，这种信念更加根深蒂固——1984年，我母亲死于卵巢癌，当时我出生才9个月，而她只有35岁。

当约翰舅舅去世时，我从未想过我自己也可能死于癌症的命运；和大多数20多岁的人一样，死亡距离我非常遥远。但随着时间流逝，我开始思考自己是否可能遗传到了这种病的致病基因。直到3年前，当我搬到纽约，为英国《金融时报》进行有关医保的报道时，我才发现了找到这类答案的可能——接受遗传性癌症基因检测。

遗传检测是个利润丰厚的行业。去年，该行业成立最久、声望最高的巨数遗传公司(Myriad Genetics)在遗传检测方面创收6.32亿美元，其中包括分析28个基因（相关基因缺陷可能导致患癌风险上升）的“我的风险”(myRisk)检测。以我为例，与我关系最大的基因是BRCA1和BRCA2。其中任何一个基因出现有害变异的男性，罹患恶性前列腺癌的风险都会大大上升。

每5个患有卵巢癌的女性中就有一个人在这类基因上出现了变异。2013年，女演员安吉丽娜•朱丽(Angelina Jolie)在进行巨数遗传检测后接受了预防性双乳切除术。她的检测结果表明，她在BRCA1基因上存在变异，这大大增加了她罹患乳腺癌和卵巢癌的风险。随后她接受了卵巢和输卵管切除手术。

想要进行遗传检测的人，第一步是寻求遗传顾问的帮助。遗传顾问是指通过梳理个人的家族遗传史来发现患病风险的科学家。我的顾问是巨数遗传的谢利•卡明斯(Shelly Cummings)，不过其他顾问在医院或学术机构工作。卡明斯多次打电话问我关于每个诊断出癌症的家庭成员的情况：第一个肿瘤出现在体内什么位置？扩散了吗？是否已死于那个肿瘤？从确诊到去世经过了多久？

最终她绘制了详细的家族图谱。男性以方块代替，女性以圆圈代替。被诊断出癌症的人打上了阴影，而死于癌症的人则用一条斜线划掉。我母亲这边的海斯(Hays)家族情况堪忧。在7个核心家庭成员中——父母和5个孩子——5人被诊断出患有某种癌症，其中只有一人逃过一劫。

海斯家族：本文作者大卫•克罗的母系亲属

我的姨妈阿尔玛(Alma)是海斯家5个孩子中唯一一个从未诊断出癌症的人。她的母亲、我的外婆也死于癌症。她不用看图谱也能体会到那种失去的痛苦。“看着所有照片，发现自己差不多是唯一一个还活着的人，”她说。“这很可怕，你会问自己为什么老天爷没有像摧毁我们家一样摧毁其他家庭。”

The Best Stock in Utah: Myriad Genetics

We scoured the nation to identify the best stock in every state. Myriad Genetics (symbol MYGN) is the publicly traded company we picked in Utah. The company headquarters is located in Salt Lake City.

A word of caution: Since we selected a single stock from each state (plus one from D.C), and choices in some states are sparse, a few of our picks are best suited to investors comfortable with a higher degree of risk. This is not necessarily one of our 51 favorite stocks in the entire U.S., in other words.

Myriad Genetics by the Numbers

Headquarters: Salt Lake City

Share price: $26.26

Market value: $1.8 billion

Price-earnings ratio: 26

Myriad develops genetic diagnostic products. Best known for its BRACAnalysis test, which assesses a woman’s risk for developing hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, the company is seeking to expand its hereditary cancer detection business with the myRisk test, which screens 25 genes for a multitude of cancers. Myriad’s efforts to develop a host of new products, including diagnostic tests for neurological and autoimmune conditions, have eaten away at earnings recently, as has sharply declining demand for the company’s BRACAnalysis kits. But demand for the kits may have bottomed and stabilized, says Value Line analyst Nira Maharaj, and Myriad’s newer diagnostic offerings should keep the company competitive in the $700 billion diagnostics market over the next three to five years. Analysts at William Blair believe a new deal with insurer UnitedHealthcare is in the cards, potentially providing coverage for Myriad’s GeneSight test. They believe the stock will outperform the broad stock market over the next 12 months.

So I got told I should get this testing done. Anyone else had it done? I’m interested in real pricing and time and stuff. Does it actually predict anything or just scare you into to getting excessive testing for for the rest of your life? I have markers on both side. She(the doctor) asked for a family history and I asked if she had a book. Both sides have heavy family histories of everything they test for. I had cancer myself too.
