Predictive And Prognostic Information For Extended Endocrine Therapy Decision-Making

Breast Cancer Index (BCI) is THE ONLY commercially available test validated to inform the decision regarding extended endocrine therapy based on:

Predictive
Result:

Is she likely to benefit from extended endocrine therapy?

  • Reported as YES (High Benefit) vs NO (Low Benefit)
Prognostic
Result:

What is her risk of late distant recurrence?

  • Reported as an individualized percentage risk of late distant recurrence

Supported by Extensive Clinical Evidence for Extended Endocrine Therapy Decision-Making

BCI Predictive

BCI has demonstrated reproducible predictive performance for endocrine therapy response. BCI Predictive validations included patients with both node-negative and node-positive disease.

BCI Prognostic

The ability of BCI to determine an individual’s risk of late distant recurrence has been validated across multiple studies, including various treatment histories, and a mix of pre- and post- menopausal patients.

How It Works

In one test, BCI combines two complementary gene-expression signatures to assess proliferative and estrogen signaling pathways.1-5

BCI Predictive

  • Molecular assessment of estrogen signaling pathways
  • Genes: HOXB13/IL17BR (H/I)

BCI Prognostic

  • Algorithmic combination of Molecular Grade Index (MGI: proliferation) and HOXB13/IL17BR (H/I: estrogen signaling pathway)
  • Genes: BUB1B, CENPA, NEK2, RACGAP1, RRM2, HOXB13/IL17BR (H/I)
  • For N1 patients: Risk is determined by incorporating the tumor size and grade with the BCI gene expression signature3
