  • 50 years old, postmenopausal, pT2, N1, G2, L0, V0, R0, ER 30/80%, PR 100/90%, Ki67 10%, lobular
    early-stage breast cancer patient
  • Poll of other clinicians’ case opinions
  • How her EndoPredict result changed the treatment decision
  • Clinical validation of the test in this patient group

     Based on her individualized risk score. See her full report

9%

risk of distant recurrence within 10 years

3%

absolute individualized chemotherapy benefit

7%

5–15 year late distant recurrence risk*
*with 5 years of endocrine therapy alone

Have informed conversations

   Simple to interpret, straightforward to explain. For example:

“Your result gave you a low-risk score”

“This is based on the activity of your genes and tumor
risk profile”

“There is a 91% probability your cancer will not return
within 10 years”

“Chemotherapy reduces this risk by 3%, but this small benefit may not outweigh the potential for side effects”

Make confident decisions

   Knowing her result
  • Is from the most accurate prognostic1 and predictive test2

    •  

  • Combines her clinical factors with a molecular gene expression score3-5
  • Is clinically validated and prospectively confirmed2-10

 

  • Is recommended by international guidelines11-14

What this meant for this patient

Based on her clear result, this patient and her clinician decided to proceed without chemotherapy, allowing her to avoid the potential side effects.
