Myriad Urology is looking for an Account Executive who is passionate about improving the lives of patients with prostate cancer risk and/or diagnosis. The ideal candidate will live in either Portland, Oregon or Boise, Idaho metropolitan areas.
As an Account Executive for Myriad Urology, you will focus on developing business for Myriad Urology; promoting Prolaris®, BRACAnalysis CDx, MyRisk, and Precise™ Tumor to hospitals, hospital systems, large practices and oncology-specific institutions. The Prolaris® test from Myriad Genetics is the only biomarker test on the market with an Active Surveillance Threshold that has been clinically validated and proven to work in initially untreated patients.

The clinical challenge facing physicians and their patients newly diagnosed with prostate cancer is whether to choose definitive therapy such as surgery or radiation, which have potentially significant complications, or to monitor the patient's cancer through active surveillance or watchful waiting. Unfortunately, existing clinical parameters (PSA, Gleason score, and stage) used to make this difficult decision do not adequately predict which cancers are indolent or aggressive, resulting in both under treatment and overtreatment of men with prostate cancer.
Myriad Genetic Laboratories discovered and validated Prolaris, a novel RNA expression-based prognostic test, to fulfil this pressing unmet clinical need. Prolaris directly measures tumor cell growth characteristics in order to stratify patients with localized prostate cancer according to disease aggressiveness. More than 700 urologists and urologic oncologists in the U.S. have used the test to identify both low-risk patients who may be monitored through active surveillance or watchful waiting, as well as high-risk patients who may benefit from earlier definitive treatment. Prolaris is the only molecular test in its category with 6 peer-reviewed publications supporting its clinical validity and two forthcoming publications that demonstrate significant change in treatment selections as a result of the test.

Organization**
Myriad Urology, a business unit of Myriad Genetics focuses on two products Myriad myRisk® Hereditary Cancer test and Prolaris. The Myriad myRisk® Hereditary Cancer test is a multi-gene panel that identifies an elevated risk for eight hereditary cancers: Blending both genetic test status AND personal cancer family history, Myriad myRisk hereditary cancer panel represents the next generation of hereditary cancer risk testing. Myriad myRisk identifies elevated risk for 8 hereditary cancers by analyzing multiple, clinically significant genes. Prolaris® measures the expression level of genes involved with tumor proliferation to predict disease outcome. Prolaris can be used in conjunction with other clinical parameters to determine prostate cancer aggressiveness.
