SUMMARY:
Adding the 70-gene signature result significantly increased the agreement in risk estimation to ‘substantial’ (κ=0.61), while agreement in AST recommendations remained ‘moderate’ (κ=0.56). Overall, the proportion of high risk was reduced with 7.4% (range: 6.9-22.9%; p<0.001) and the proportion of chemotherapy that was recommended was reduced with 12.2% (range: 5.4-29.5%; p<0.001).
