1 CHEMO? NO CHEMO? The Oncotype DX Breast Cancer Assay helps you find an answer Oncotype DX helps clarify one of the most difficult treatment questions by providing an individualized Recurrence Score result that assesses the benefit of chemotherapy and the likelihood of breast cancer recurrence. 1,2
2 Do all patients have the same magnitude of benefit from chemotherapy? CHEMO? Landmark NSABP B-2 trial of 651 estrogen receptor positive (ER-positive), node-negative breast cancer patients found 1 : The addition of chemotherapy provided only a 4% absolute benefit, measured as the proportion of patients free of distant recurrence at 1 years Proportion of all patients free of distant recurrence at 1 years 1 Proportion without distant recurrence 1. 92% P =.2 n Events Tam + chemo Tam % 4% ABSOLUTE BENEFIT FROM TAM + CHEMO The Oncotype DX Breast Cancer Assay is the only test that provides patients with an individual score validated to predict chemotherapy benefit and the likelihood of distant recurrence
3 Providing predictive and prognostic information for a broad range of patients The Oncotype DX Breast Cancer Assay 1,2 : Analyzes the expression of 21 genes Predicts chemotherapy benefit Indicates the 1-year risk of distant recurrence NO CHEMO? Eligible ER-positive breast cancer patients extend along a biologic continuum 1,2,4-7 ER-positive, tamoxifen-treated, or AI-treated 4 stage i pt1, N pt2-3, N included in asco and nccn guidelines 5,6 stage ii pt1-3, N1mi* included in nccn guidelines 6 stage iii pt-2, N1 pt3, N1 certain node-positive patients 4,7 AI=aromatase inhibitor; ASCO=American Society of Clinical Oncology; NCCN=National Comprehensive Cancer Network. Cancer Network. ASCO and NCCN do not endorse any product or therapy. *T1b moderate/poorly differentiated or unfavorable features/1c/2/3, N1mi, M; HER2-negative. Consider patients from a subset of stage IIIa as indicated; not all stage III patients. The Oncotype DX Breast Cancer Assay is the only multigene expression assay incorporated in both the ASCO and NCCN guidelines. 5,6 3
4 Accurate, precise, and reproducible CHEMO? Why RT-PCR was chosen for the Oncotype DX Breast Cancer Assay 3 : Precise, accurate, and highly reproducible over a wide dynamic range Minimizes variability that may result from: Tissue preparation method, type of fixative, and fixation time Tumor block age, storage, and variability in preparation Sample heterogeneity Can be assayed using fixed tissue from core biopsy or surgical excision samples Genomic Health s surgical pathologists take additional steps to ensure accuracy 3 Perform manual microdissection Clear sample contaminants Enrich for invasive tumor tissue Fixed paraffin-embedded tumor sample. With a success rate >97% in generating an accurate result, you can feel confident in the Oncotype DX Breast Cancer Assay. 8 4
5 Helping you find an individualized answer with genomics 21 genes identified through a rigorous selection process 2 NO CHEMO? 447 patients with ER-positive and ER-negative, and node-positive and node-negative breast cancer were examined 25 breast cancer associated genes were analyzed 21-gene panel used to develop the Recurrence Score algorithm 2 PROLIFERATION INVASION HER2 Ki-67 STK15 Stromelysin 3 GRB7 Survivin Cathepsin L2 HER2 Cyclin B1 MYBL2 ESTROGEN OTHER ER PR Bcl-2 SCUBE2 GSTM1 CD68 BAG1 16 cancer genes Several identified with a consistent and strong statistical association to breast cancer recurrence Others with robust predictive power for chemotherapy benefit REFERENCE Beta-actin GAPDH RPLPO GUS TFRC 5 reference genes Normalize gene expression Provide quality control Gene expression levels determine the Recurrence Score (RS) result 2 RS = +.47 HER2 group score.34 Estrogen group score +1.4 Proliferation group score +.1 Invasion group score +.5 CD68.8 GSTM1.7 BAG1 5

Validated in NSABP B-14 Prospective analysis on archived tissue patients treated with tamoxifen 2 ER-positive, node-negative 2 1-year rate of distant recurrence was significantly lower for patients with low Recurrence Score values 2 Rate of distant recurrence at 1 years (%) % 95% Cl 4%-9.6% RECURRENCE SCORE VALUE <18 LOW RISK 14.3% 95% Cl 8.3%-2.3% RECURRENCE SCORE VALUE 18-3 INTERMEDIATE RISK 3.5% 95% Cl 23.6%-37.4% RECURRENCE SCORE VALUE 31 HIGH RISK CI=confidence interval.

PATIENT REPORT Patient/ID: Doe, Jane Sex: Female DOB: 1/1/195 Medical Record/Patient #: Date of Surgery: 9/25/28 Specimen Type/ID: Breast/SURG-1 Requisition: R3G Order Received: 1/15/28 Date Reported: 1/23/28 Client: Community Medical Center Ordering Physician: Dr. Harry D Smith Submitting Pathologist: Dr. John P Williams Submitting Pathologist: Dr. Sally M Jones BREAST CANCER ASSAY DESCRIPTION Oncotype DX Breast Cancer Assay uses RT-PCR to determine the expression of a panel of 21 genes in tumor tissue. The Recurrence Score is calculated from the gene expression results. The Recurrence Score range is from -1. RESULTS Breast Cancer Recurrence Score = 6 The findings summarized in the Clinical Experience sections of this report are applicable to the patient populations defined in each section. It is unknown whether the findings apply to patients outside these criteria. CLINICAL EXPERIENCE: PROGNOSIS FOR NODE NEGATIVE, ER-POSITIVE PATIENTS The Clinical Validation study included female patients with Stage I or II, Node Negative, ER-Positive breast cancer treated with 5 years of tamoxifen. Those patients who had a Recurrence Score of 6 had an Average Rate of Distant Recurrence of 5% (95% CI: 3%-7%) The following results are from a clinical validation study of 668 patients from the NSABP B-14 study.

PATIENT REPORT Patient/ID: Doe, Jane Sex: Female DOB: 1/1/195 QUANTITATIVE SINGLE GENE REPORT Requisition: R3G Order Received: 1/15/28 Date Reported: 1/23/28 The Oncotype DX assay uses RT-PCR to determine the RNA expression of the genes below. These results may differ from ER, PR, or HER2 results reported using other methods or reported by other laboratories. 1 The ER, PR, and HER2 Scores are also included in the calculation of the Recurrence Score. ER Score = Positive The ER Score positive/negative cut-off of 6.5 units was validated from a study of 761 samples using the 1D5 antibody (immunohistochemistry) and 67 samples using the SP1 antibody (immunohistochemistry). The standard deviation for the ER Score is less than.5 units. 2 Clinical Experience: For ER positive breast cancer, the magnitude of tamoxifen benefit increases as the ER Score increases from 6.5 to Please note: The Average Rate of Distant Recurrence reported on Page 1 based on the Recurrence Score was determined in patients who received 5 years of tamoxifen treatment and takes into account the magnitude of tamoxifen benefit indicated by the ER Score. PR Score = Positive Quantitative ER, PR, and HER2 scores, which are highly concordant with IHC and FISH 3,12,13 The PR Score positive/negative cut-off of 5.5 units was validated from a study of 761 samples using the PR636 antibody (immunohistochemistry) and another study of 67 samples using the PR636 antibody (immunohistochemistry). The standard deviation for the PR Score is less than.5 units. 2 HER2 Score = Negative The HER2 positive cut-off of 11.5 units, equivocal range from 1.7 to 11.4 units, and negative cut-off of < 1.7 units were validated from concordance studies of 755 samples using the HercepTest assay (immunohistochemistry) and another study of 568 samples using the PathVysion assay (FISH). The standard deviation for the HER2 score is less than.5 units. 4 Genomic Health accepts all early-stage breast cancer samples to help confirm or clarify ER status References: 1.
