Oncotype DX is a commercially available reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction based assay that provides a Recurrence Score (RS) and has been shown to provide prognostic and predictive information in estrogen receptor-positive lymph node-negative breast cancers. Independent studies of its utility in routine practice are lacking. Slides and surgical pathology reports from 42 cases of breast carcinomas evaluated by Oncotype DX were retrospectively reviewed to determine patient age, tumor size, histologic grade, estrogen and progesterone receptor (ER and PR) and ERBB2 (HER-2/neu) data, with ER and PR reported as a semi-quantitative score reflecting both intensity of staining and proportion of positive cells. We show here that Recurrence Score is significantly correlated with tubule formation, nuclear grade, mitotic count, ER immunohistochemical score, PR immunohistochemical score, and HER-2/neu status, and that the equation RS=13.424+5.420 (nuclear grade) +5.538 (mitotic count) -0.045 (ER immunohistochemical score) -0.030 (PR immunohistochemical score) +9.486 (HER-2/neu) predicts the Recurrence Score with an R2 of 0.66, indicating that the full model accounts for 66% of the data variability. Although the Oncotype DX Recurrence Score holds potential, further validation of its independent value beyond that of histopathologic analysis is necessary before it can be implemented in clinical decision making.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
