My onc is unsure of the test as well -- similar to the Oncogene DX test in that they don't really know the prognostic value and how it "fits in" with other tests they do. Plus, I still believe they're biased to wait for symptoms to appear and then proceed with treatment.

I did provide the disk that was distributed in San Antonio to my onc and he said he would review it. Since I don't have mets, it's not approved for me and I haven't pushed to have the testing. I have not had a chance to ask whether he has ordered the tests for Stage IV patients.

I'm looking forward to seeing some results from ASCO.
