[https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/13652559/2012/61/s1] | Journal: | Histopathology | Abstract: | Compared to conventional risk assessment models, transcriptional profiling may reduce prescription of chemotherapy in patients with early-stage breast cancer by approximately one-third. This significant reduction prompted a South African medical insurer to subject the 70-gene MammaPrint® (MP) test to a Health Technology Assessment (HTA) in 2009. The HTA introduced a set of test eligibility criteria – the MammaPrint® Algorithm (MPA). This translational research study was undertaken to determine whether the MPA based partly on immunohistochemical Estrogen Receptor (ER) and HER2 status is appropriate for use in routine clinical practice | URI: | https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/13652559/2012/61/s1 http://hdl.handle.net/11189/8107 |
