Impact of Oncotype DX® on Treatment Recommendation and Its Economic Evaluation Under the Brazilian Society Perspective

After surgery, tumoral tissue was used to perform Oncotype Dx®. Patients were evaluated and therapy recommendations - adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) plus hormone therapy (HT) or HT alone - were captured before and after revealing the test results. Results from TAILORx10 were used to guide decisions for or against CT for individual patients. Changes in treatment recommendations were obtained.

Changes in treatment costs were estimated from Pérola Byington Hospital.
