Am I eligible for the test?

The Oncotype DX® test is a diagnostic test that is performed after your original breast cancer surgery. Like other laboratory tests, it must be ordered by an authorized healthcare provider.

Below is a checklist that may help you determine if you are a potential candidate for the Oncotype DX test.

You may be a candidate for the Oncotype DX test if:

You have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, and you and your doctor are making treatment decisions regarding chemotherapy.

You have been diagnosed with stage I or II invasive breast cancer.

Your breast cancer is estrogen-receptor-positive (ER+).

You do not have lymph node involvement (this is known as lymph-node-negative breast cancer).

Post-menopausal women recently diagnosed with node-positive, hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer may also be appropriate candidates for the Oncotype DX test.

The decision whether or not to take the Oncotype DX test is one that you and your doctor should make together. For more information about getting tested, including suggestions for talking with your doctor about the Oncotype DX test, click here.
