Harrie,

The Oncotype test does incorporate Her2; there is some debate about whether it weights it correctly (the debate being it is weighted too heavily rather than too lightly). I read one interview with Dr. Paik (the inventor of the test) where someone asked him about it directly, and he said he would have to look into it. Unfortunately, I didn't print out the page and have been searching for it again ever since. I know the trial that is designed around the use of the test to determine hormone therapy vs. chemo + hormone therapy is limited to Her2 negatives.
