Review Title: Summary of head-to-head comparisons of patient risk classifications by the 21-gene Recurrence Score® (RS) assay and other genomic assays for early breast cancer
Abstract: Many genomic assays that assess recurrence risk in early breast cancer (EBC) are prognostic, but they differ in risk group stratification, which can affect clinical utility. Prospective outcomes of >60 K patients treated based on the 21-gene assay results have shown that chemotherapy may be safely omitted in EBC patents with low Recurrence Score (RS) results (RS < 18). Because of its extensive validation and wide clinical use, the RS assay is a common comparator in head-to-head studies with other assays. Published/presented studies of the RS assay performed on the same tumor samples with Breast Cancer Index (BCI), EndoPredict (EP) or EP+ clinical features (EPclin), MammaPrint (MMP) and/or Prosigna (ROR) assays were reviewed. Study findings were summarized descriptively. © 2019 UICC
