The results of the POLO trial, showing a benefit of Myriad’s BRACAnalysis CDx companion diagnostic for AstraZeneca’s Lynparza (olaparib) to treat pancreatic cancer offer more support for the new guidelines from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommending genetic testing for all pancreatic cancer patients. Myriad also stands to benefit from the growing support for genetic testing of breast cancer patients.
