Watch Prof. Untch’s case study

  • 43 years old, premenopausal, pT1c, N0, G2, L0, V0, R0, ER 100%, HER2-, PR 100%, Ki67 15%, early-stage breast cancer patient
  • Poll of other clinicians’ case opinions
  • How her EndoPredict result supported a confident treatment decision
  • Clinical validation of the test in this patient group

     Based on her individualized risk score. See her full report

8%

risk of distant recurrence within 10 years

2%

absolute individualized chemotherapy benefit

6%

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 EndoPredict result shows that your cancer is at low risk of recurrence”

“The EndoPredict score is based on the gene activity in your cancer and its risk profile”

“There is a 92% probability your cancer will not recur
within 10 years”

“Chemotherapy reduces this risk of recurrence by 2%, but this small benefit may not outweigh the potential for side effects”

Make confident decisions

   Knowing her result
  • Is from the most accurate prognostic and predictive second generation test1,2

    •  

  • Combines her clinical factors with a molecular gene expression score, based on genes associated with early and late recurrence3-5
  • Is clinically validated and prospectively confirmed2-10

 

  • Includes her 15 year distant recurrence risk, providing the longest prognostic period compared to other genomic signatures4

What it means 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 of toxic treatments with confidence in her low long-term recurrence risk.
