With guidance from her physician, she chose to undergo a prophylactic double mastectomy and future oophorectomy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am very proactive about my health, and yet I had no idea how important hereditary cancer screening was,\u201d said Tohn. \u201cWorking with my genetic counselor, I learned I had an 85% chance of developing breast cancer and a 65% chance of developing ovarian cancer. Given how high those numbers are, I believe hereditary cancer testing saved my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The hereditary cancer risk for 11 cancer types, including breast, ovarian, uterine and prostate cancers, can be inherited through either the maternal or paternal side of the family. Important risk factors for hereditary cancer screening are:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>\n          <strong><br \/>\n            <em>Multiple <\/em><br \/>\n          <\/strong>of the same type of cancers on the same side of the family<\/li>\n<li>\n          <strong><br \/>\n            <em>Young <\/em><br \/>\n          <\/strong>family history of cancer that is diagnosed at a young age (50 or younger)<\/li>\n<li>\n          <strong><br \/>\n            <em>Rare<\/em><br \/>\n          <\/strong> cancer in your family like ovarian, male breast cancer or pancreatic cancer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;The MyRisk test is about empowerment. When you know your risk, you and your provider may be able to build a personalized plan for early surveillance with increased screenings or other risk-reducing measures that could include medication or surgery,&#8221; said Brian Donnelly, Chief Commercial Officer, Myriad Genetics. &#8220;Jackie&#8217;s result was not the news anyone wants but having that information allowed her and her clinicians to be proactive about managing her health risks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More than one in four women in an OB-GYN setting meet the clinical criteria for hereditary cancer testing.<sup>1<\/sup> For individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, like Tohn, the risk is even greater. 1 in 40 Ashkenazi Jewish individuals (men and women) carry a\u00a0<em>BRCA1\/2<\/em>\u00a0gene mutation. Individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry are 10x more likely to carry a\u00a0<em>BRCA1\/2<\/em>\u00a0mutation compared to the general population\u00a0at large.<sup>2<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sharing my story because I am a Jewish woman in my 40s and no one had ever talked to me about <em>BRCA<\/em>,\u201d said Tohn. \u201cI hope hearing about my experience encourages everyone to learn more about their family health history, start a conversation with their doctor, and explore a genetic test like the MyRisk Hereditary Cancer Test.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The MyRisk<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Hereditary Cancer Test with RiskScore<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> evaluates 63 carefully selected genes to assess hereditary risk across 11 cancer types, including breast, ovarian, uterine, colorectal, and prostate cancers. For breast cancer risk, the RiskScore assessment combines personal history, family history, and ~150 genetic markers to build both a personalized five-year and remaining lifetime risk of breast cancer and is two times more predictive of breast cancer risk than personal and family history alone.<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Testing can be completed through a healthcare provider or via virtual care using a blood or saliva sample, with results typically available within 14 days. Myriad\u2019s board-certified genetic counselors are available for a complimentary phone consultation to help understand test results and help guide conversations with a healthcare provider. Clinicians can order and receive results through the Myriad patient portal and several electronic medical record platforms including Epic and OncoEMR.<\/p>\n<p>Myriad was the first laboratory to\u00a0identify\u00a0and sequence the\u00a0<em>BRCA<\/em>\u00a0genes and has been a leader in hereditary cancer testing for over 30 years, testing over\u00a03 million patients.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the MyRisk test and whether hereditary cancer testing is right for you, visit learnmyrisk.com.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Jackie Tohn<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Jackie Tohn is an actor, writer, comic, host and producer.
