Abstract

En 中文
The Oncotype DX assay has revolutionized the management of early-stage, hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. Developed in 2004, it quantifies 21 genes to generate a recurrence score that predicts distant recurrence risk and guides adjuvant chemotherapy. Multiple studies have validated its reliability and clinical utility in enabling more precise risk stratification and individualized treatment planning, thereby minimizing unnecessary chemotherapy exposure and improving patient outcomes. Leading oncology organizations such as the American Society of Clinical Oncology and National Comprehensive Cancer Network have incorporated it into their clinical guidelines. Beyond its well-established role in adjuvant chemotherapy decision-making, Oncotype DX is increasingly being investigated in broader clinical contexts, including lymph node-positive breast cancer, neoadjuvant therapy, radiotherapy, and ductal carcinoma in situ. Ongoing research and technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence-based predictive models and novel biomarker identification, hold significant promise for further enhancing its predictive accuracy and expanding its applications. This review synthesizes current evidence supporting the clinical utility of Oncotype DX, discusses evolving applications, and highlights future directions for integrating this genomic tool into precision oncology practice.
