LOW RISK PATIENTS HAVE A
1.3%
CHANCE OF RECCURENCE2
The MINDACT trial determined these patients do not benefit from chemotherapy.3
HIGH RISK PATIENTS HAVE A
11.7 %
CHANCE OF RECCURENCE22
These patients were shown to have significantly better outcomes with chemotherapy.4
Nearly half of clinically high risk patients were reclassified as MammaPrint Low Risk and were able to forgo chemotherapy without compromising their outcomes.3
Interrogating 80 genes, the BluePrint® test identifies the underlying biology of an individual breast cancer. The tumor is then accurately classified as one of three subtypes, which reveal valuable information about its behavior, long-term prognosis and response to systemic therapy. Results are typically available in <6 days, just in time for your pre-operative consultation.6,7
Luminal Type |
Luminal-Type cancers are primarily driven by the estrogen and progesterone hormone pathways. This subtype can be further stratified using MammaPrint into Luminal A-Type cancers (Low Risk) and Luminal B-Type cancers (High Risk). These luminal subtypes have distinctly different outcomes and thus this information should be incorporated into treatment planning to maximize the likelihood of curing your patient. |
HER2 Type |
HER2-Type cancers are primarily driven by the HER2 pathway. This molecular subtype does not always align with IHC- or FISH-derived HER2 results but HER2-Type patients have excellent response to HER2-targeted therapies in the neoadjuvant setting. In fact, with advances in therapeutics, HER2-Type patients have good long term outcomes when treated with HER2-targeted agents. |
Basal Type |
Basal-Type tumors are not driven by ER, PR or HER2 pathways and act more like clinically triple negative tumors. This molecular subtype is more aggressive and patients may benefit from standard or novel regimens for triple-negative breast cancers. Given the aggressive nature of these tumors, appropriate patients may benefit from neoadjuvant rather than adjuvant treatment. |
Women who benefit:
Clinically, these patients appear to have less aggressive tumors but the underlying biology indicates they will act like triple negative breast cancer.7 Treating ER+/Basal patients more aggressively may improve their outcomes.
Nearly 50% of pathologically HER2+ patients are reclassified to a Luminal molecular subtype. ER+, HER2+/Luminal patients do not respond as well to treatment with HER2- targeted agents as those who have concordant clinical and molecular HER2 subtypes.8
In NBRST study, 22% of patients were reclassified from their original clinical or pathological subtype into a different molecular subtype identifying an opportunity to personalize treatment to the patient’s molecular profile.9
Confidently and rapidly establish a personalized treatment plan for your patients*, from neoadjuvant chemotherapy decisions to endocrine therapy extension, using MammaPrint + BluePrint results, which are available in up to 10 business days¹.
* Women with a minimum age of 18 years, with a diagnosis of breast cancer, in its early form
With the combined results of MammaPrint + BluePrint, along with clinical factors, physicians obtain a more comprehensive basis for making informed decisions regarding pre- and post-operative treatment and can assess the benefit of certain treatments.

HIGH GENOMIC RISK
Your cancer is much more likely to come back in the next 10 years.
You are much more likely to benefit from chemotherapy.
LOW GENOMIC RISK
Your cancer is less likely to come back after 10 years.
You are unlikely to benefit from chemotherapy.

The test has not been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but has been CE-marked for use in Europe. The laboratory is regulated under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) to ensure the quality and validity of the tests. Our laboratories are CAP-accredited and certified under CLIA to perform high complexity clinical laboratory testing. (Agendia is committed to delivering results in less than 10 business days, and results are provided within 6 business days for the majority of cases)
