A member asked:
Can mammaprint be used on a core biopsy to help decide on mastectomy vs. pre-operative chemo/lumpectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Excellent question!!: I only know of 2 small studies (netherlands and us) in which mammaprint was evaluated in a pre-op setting. A "high risk" category was predictive of a pathologic complete response (desirable). I believe there is at least one ongoing trial (mint i) and maybe more studying that question. For now, microarray tests are used in the post-op setting for er+, node negative patients in routine practice.
