Objective: To examine how MammaPrint (MP) and BluePrint (BP) results affected treatment decisions (Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) vs surgery first) and tumor response in a Black patient population.

Conclusion:

  • Black patients with genomically high risk tumors, defined by MP and BP on CNB, were more frequently recommended for NAC and subsequently downstaged and/or achieved complete response.
  • MP/BP can be an important tool in the treatment planning of Black patients.
