I also saw this on the NBC news. I tried to find additional info on it but was unable to locate anything detailed. I go in March to see my onc. I am going to ask her about this. The only thing I could see was that they said that there was a better percentage of telling you you wouldn't have a recurrance, but the percentage was low on determining if you would have a recurrance. If I am not correct in this, please someone correct me.

Thanks.
Linda
