Genomic Health Announces Presentation of Two Large Studies at the 2018 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, Reinforcing Real-world Value of the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score® Test
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Nov. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Genomic Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: GHDX) today announced that it will present results from two large studies of the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score® test at the 2018 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium® (SABCS), which will be held December 4-8. The study findings reinforce the value of the Oncotype DX® test in optimizing treatment and outcomes in patients with both node-negative and node-positive early-stage breast cancer. Presentations include:
- Results from a large population-based clinical outcomes study based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the premier source of cancer statistics in the United States. To provide long-term (nine years) real-world evidence for both prognosis and chemotherapy benefit, the study assessed breast cancer-specific survival in patients with node-negative and node-positive disease who were treated based on their Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score test results.
- Analysis of 500 early-stage breast cancer patients age 40 or younger to further the understanding of the value of the Oncotype DX test in guiding chemotherapy treatment decisions. The analysis is based on a multi-center prospective cohort study led by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute investigators in Boston.
Complete results from both studies will be announced in accordance with the SABCS embargo policy. Following are details for the two poster presentations:

About Oncotype DX®
The Oncotype DX® portfolio of breast, colon and prostate cancer tests applies advanced genomic science to reveal the unique biology of a tumor in order to optimize cancer treatment decisions. The company's flagship product, the Oncotype DX breast cancer test, has been shown to predict the likelihood of chemotherapy benefit as well as recurrence in invasive breast cancer. Additionally, the test predicts the likelihood of recurrence in a pre-invasive form of breast cancer called DCIS. With more than 950,000 patients tested in more than 90 countries, the Oncotype DX tests have redefined personalized medicine by making genomics a critical part of cancer diagnosis and treatment.
