The DCIS score can help patients and physicians work together to determine whether or not chemotherapy will be beneficial, based on a personal assay taken at the time of surgery. That tumor assay is then analyzed, and a recurrence score, or the likelihood of recurrence, is assigned. Here, Rick Baehner, MD and Senior Director of Pathology at Genomic Health, Inc. gives a recent example of a patient with an experience using the DCIS score.
Genomic Health is committed to improving the quality of cancer treatment decisions through the research, development and commercialization of genomic-based clinical laboratory services. The company's lead product, the Oncotype DX breast cancer test, has been shown to predict the likelihood of chemotherapy benefit as well as recurrence in invasive breast cancer and has been shown to predict the likelihood of recurrence in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS).

DCIS, or ductal carcinoma in situ, is a non-invasive form of breast cancer. It is unlikely for DCIS to be fatal; however, in some cases DCIS can come back and at times, come back as an invasive form of breast cancer. It’s important for patients diagnosed with DCIS to have as much information as possible: educate themselves and make an informed decision on what types of treatment best suit their individual case. There is a new method of determining a patient’s specific risk of recurrence. With the latest advances in genomic testing, physicians and their patients now have the opportunity to equip themselves with more precise information to be able to guide treatment selection.
