Recommendations on Reporting on HER2 Status in Breast Cancer Patients

Oncotype-DX

Use of Oncotype DX for gene expression profiling to support chemotherapy decision making in patients with Hormone Receptor positive, HER2 negative, lymph node negative early stage breast cancer was recommended by the NCCP Technology Review Committee in August 2011 in line with eligibility guidelines drafted by the Irish Society of Medical Oncology which are available here.

The use of Oncotype DX has been extended to  patients with Hormone Receptor positive, HER2-negative, lymph node positive patients (1-3nodes) breast cancer patients in line with the recommendation of the NCCP Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy Breast Clinical Advisory Group (November 2019). 

For information on open clinical trials please refer to the Cancer Trials Ireland website here and also to basket trials here.
