Advantages:

  • It's a relatively cheap, simple assay to better individualize risk of DCIS.

  • Can identify those who ...

Even in patients identified with Oncotype as "low risk", ipsilateral failure rates are around 13%, with invasive recurrences around ...

Our goal in doing so is to help collect data to study the prognostic and predictive value and clinical utility of DCISionRT testi...
