    About the Breast Cancer Index Test

    The Breast Cancer Index test is a molecular, gene expression-based test uniquely positioned to provide information to help physicians individualize treatment decisions for patients with early-stage HR+ breast cancer. This breakthrough test helps oncologists and patients navigate the difficult trade-offs between taking steps to prevent recurrence of their disease and facing significant side effects and safety challenges related to unnecessary treatment. The Breast Cancer Index test has guideline designation from the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) for cancer staging based on molecular profile. The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the European Group on Tumor Markers (EGTM) and the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) acknowledge the Breast Cancer Index test as a biomarker to inform the extended endocrine treatment decision; and ASCO, EGTM and St. Gallen acknowledge the Breast Cancer Index test as a biomarker to inform the chemotherapy decision.8 BCI is the only validated, commercially available test that predicts the benefit from extended endocrine therapy.

    The Breast Cancer Index test is intended for routine clinical use and treatment decisions based on results are the responsibility of the physician. It is a laboratory developed test (LDT) performed in a single CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited diagnostic laboratory. For more information, visit www.breastcancerindex.com.
