Molecular subtyping in breast cancer

[Rich66]

The panel's recommendations support the clinical value of Agendia's BluePrint assay, which, in combination with the company's FDA-cleared MammaPrint® recurrence test, can accurately classify all patients as Basal, Luminal-A, Luminal-B, or ERBB2 (HER2) and help determine appropriate treatment. Both clinically available, MammaPrint and BluePrint are two components of Agendia's Symphony™ suite of breast cancer treatment products, a comprehensive collection of genetic assays that help address complex treatment decisions for any type and stage of breast cancer.
The panel also recognized that MammaPrint provided such accurate prognoses that patients and physicians may decide that chemotherapy is not required. MammaPrint identifies patients' risk of metastasis, placing them into one of just two groups, high risk and low risk. Women in the low risk group are able to be treated effectively and safely without undergoing chemotherapy and its side effects.

Anything that works..and anything that helps...especially when ER- and no tumor tissue to sensitivity test against. But I suspect Greg might respond here..
