Strongly prognostic? Fit for purpose Predictive of chemotherapy benefit? Clinical Validation of the Oncotype DX Breast Cancer Assay in Node-Negative Disease Incorporated in treatment guidelines? What is the level of evidence? Hayes DF. Am Soc Clin Oncol Ed Book. 2008: Simon R. J Clin Oncol. 2005;23:

J Clin Oncol Goldhirsch A, et al.

NCCN and NCCN Guidelines are trademarks of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. The guidelines do not endorse products or therapies. *Intermediate risk of distant recurrence is defined as Nottingham Prognostic Index score above 3.4 or being at intermediate risk by other decision making tools or protocols 22 Most Patients Were Positively Influenced by the Result Immediately Post-RS 12 Months Later N= 89 patients I am glad I took the RS assay RS results were easy to understand I think the RS helped support treatment decision I would have made the same treatment decision without RS I feel the RS influenced my treatment decision * Patient Cases * Those not satisfied noted a negative impact on QOL, treatment side effects including aches, hot flashes, pain, mood alteration, and negative impact on self image. In addition, the result helped reduce patients anxiety and decisional conflict Lo SS, et al.
