Brian Williams' NBC Dec. 10 segment

[Just wondering]

Did anyone see the NBC segment with Brian Williams this past Friday, Dec. 10, on the nightly news about a new test that determines whether chemotherapy is needed? I may have this wrong, but in the commercials, it said something like this. Thanks.

Hello -
Having just come back from the San Antonio Symposium, I can tell you that there is more than one such test being touted. Only problem is that they are awfully new and some due soon to get approval. Personally I would not wish to rely on such a test, but go with some more established data on which patients are likely to reoccur. Just from the experience on this board we see lots of node neg women coming up with mets in short periods of time.
The fine science is exciting, but is still very new in this regard.
