You’ve been diagnosed with stage I-IIIA hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer. Now, you have treatment choices to make. Do you really need chemotherapy, or is your cancer likely to respond to hormone therapy alone? Your doctor has ordered the Breast Recurrence Score® test to help you find out.
See how this genomic test has helped over a million patients with early-stage invasive breast cancer choose the most appropriate treatment option for them.
Personalized insights for personalized treatment
Just as every patient is different, so is every tumor. The Breast Recurrence Score test uses genomics to give you and your doctor important risk information about how your individual tumor will likely behave. Valuable insights include:
- How likely you are to benefit from chemotherapy
- How likely your tumor is to spread
- The risk of your cancer recurring1
- How likely your tumor is to benefit from hormone therapy alone
Reasons to get tested:
The Breast Recurrence Score test is the only test proven to predict chemotherapy benefit2
Studies have consistently shown that the Breast Recurrence Score test is the only test that can predict whether or not you’ll benefit from chemotherapy.
More than 1.5 million breast, prostate, and colon cancer patients have relied on an Oncotype DX® test for insights that help guide their treatment decisions3
Without these tests, your doctors can only estimate how likely your cancer is to return by looking at factors such as age, tumor size, tumor grade, and lymph node status.
The Breast Recurrence Score test is included in every major breast cancer treatment guideline
Including the National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®), American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the St. Gallen International Consensus Panel, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO)
Is the Breast Recurrence Score test right for you?
You may be a candidate for the Breast Recurrence Score test if:
- You’ve been recently diagnosed with invasive breast cancer
- Your cancer is stage I, II, or IIIA
- Your breast cancer is hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and HER2-negative (HER2-)
NOTE: If you’ve been diagnosed with non-invasive breast cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ (confined to milk ducts, also known as DCIS), you may be eligible for the Oncotype DX Breast DCIS Score® test.
