Does the Oncotype DX test provide the information I need to decide whether to receive chemotherapy?
You and your doctor will work together to make this very personal decision, but the Oncotype DX test is an important tool to consider using together with other information when deciding whether or not to undergo chemotherapy. In addition to assessing whether a woman’s cancer is likely to come back, the Oncotype DX test provides insight into the amount of benefit that a woman will derive from undergoing chemotherapy in addition to hormonal therapy. You and your doctor should consider the Oncotype DX test results together with other findings, as well as your own personal preference, in determining which treatment plan is right for you.
