[Histonet] Oncotype

[Cohen, Sherene]

When I was working in the lab, we sent specimens for Oncotype. They perform. 21 gene assay to predict the chance of recurrence of the cancer within 10 years. You can either send the tissue block or slides (depending on your send out policy). The testing can have an impact on the patient's tratment.

I was wandering how many of you out there are using oncotype dx. for some of your breast patients?  And what is your handling process for this test?


Thanks in advance,
Amy
