Purpose
A prospective population-based cohort study is being conducted in Ontario to evaluate whether the performance of Oncotype DX® changes the treatment recommended and the treatment received in women or men with node negative, ER positive breast cancer who are receiving (or will receive) endocrine therapy and who are candidates for chemotherapy. One thousand eligible consenting women and men will have their tumor tissue specimen sent to Genomic Health where the Oncotype DX® assay will be performed.
