Genomic Health Continues To Pioneer Genomic-Based Cancer Diagnostics With Multiple Presentations At ESMO 2017 Congress

Published: Aug 31, 2017

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Genomic Health, Inc. (Nasdaq: GHDX) today announced that the company will present results from four Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score® test studies at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2017 Congress. The conference takes place September 8-12 at the IFEMA, Feria de Madrid, in Madrid, in partnership with the European Association for Cancer Research (EACR). Highlights from results that will be presented include:

  • A first-of-its-kind analysis from the National Cancer Institute's population-based SEER Registry evaluating breast cancer-specific survival in young women under 40 years old;
  • First time presentation of a secondary endpoint analysis from the West German Study Group (WSG) PlanB trial, one of the largest contemporary adjuvant breast cancer trials in Europe; and
  • A head-to-head comparison of the most common genomic tests in clinical use for early-stage breast cancer.

The ESMO abstracts are available at www.esmo.org. Following are details for each of the four presentations (all times are in Central European Summer Time):

About Oncotype DX®
The Oncotype DX® portfolio of breast, colon and prostate cancer tests applies advanced genomic science to reveal the unique biology of a tumor in order to optimize cancer treatment decisions. The company's flagship product, the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score®, has been shown to predict the likelihood of chemotherapy benefit as well as recurrence in invasive breast cancer. Additionally, the Oncotype DX Breast DCIS Score predicts the likelihood of recurrence in a pre-invasive form of breast cancer called DCIS. In prostate cancer, the Oncotype DX Genomic Prostate Score predicts disease aggressiveness and further clarifies the current and future risk of the cancer prior to treatment intervention. With more than 800,000 patients tested in more than 90 countries, the Oncotype DX tests have redefined personalized medicine by making genomics a critical part of cancer diagnosis and treatment.
