*These stories depict patients who have used Oncotype DX to help personalize their invasive breast cancer treatment decisions. A large multi-institutional prospective validation study conducted by the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) and Genomic Health showed, for the first time, that a multi-gene assay can identify lower risk DCIS (non-invasive) which may be treated with surgery alone and higher risk DCIS for which radiation should be considered in addition to surgery. Genomic Health has submitted these positive study results for presentation at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium in December, and plans to make the Oncotype DX DCIS Score™ available to patients and physicians by year end.

DISCLAIMER: The breast cancer survivor stories on this Web site have been selected by Genomic Health, Inc., the company that performs the Oncotype DX® test. These patients have had a positive experience following their use of the Oncotype DX breast cancer test and are not intended to be representative of all patients who have received the test or all patients with early-stage breast cancer. Individual results may vary, and not all breast cancer patients will find the Oncotype DX test to be useful in making breast cancer treatment decisions or in raising their confidence level concerning such treatment decisions.
