Improved Quality of Treatment Decisions. We believe our approach to genomic-based cancer analysis improves the quality of cancer treatment decisions by providing an individualized analysis of each patients tumor that is correlated to clinical outcome. Our approach represents a substantial departure from existing approaches to treatment, which often use subjective, anatomic and qualitative factors to determine treatments. Oncotype DX has been shown in clinical studies to classify many patients into recurrence risk categories different from classifications based on current guidelines. Thus, our solution enables patients and physicians to make more informed decisions about treatment risk-benefit and, consequently, design an individualized treatment plan
