Biotheranostics’ Breast Cancer Index Included in Latest NCCN Guidelines

The latest version of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network’s breast cancer clinical practice guidelines has included Biotheranostics’ gene expression assay Breast Cancer Index as a tool for predicting whether patients will benefit from extended, adjuvant endocrine therapy. 

“Clinical guideline endorsement by the NCCN Panel marks an evidentiary milestone for the Breast Cancer Index underscoring its distinct clinical utility for women with hormone receptor-positive, early-stage breast cancer, and a new paradigm for the use of genomic assays to aid in endocrine decision-making,” Biotheranostics CSO Catherine Schnabel said in a statement. “With NCCN Guidelines as the recognized benchmark for cancer policy, the positive recommendation of BCI as a predictive biomarker of extended endocrine benefit will allow increased patient access to this important genomic tool.”
