On-Demand Webinar: Featuring Prosigna Breast Risk of Recurrence (ROR) Test

Following the presentation of the OPTIMA1 trial’s first results at ASCO, chief investigator Prof. Rob Stein discusses the study findings, which showed that more than two-thirds of node-positive patients who previously might have received chemotherapy can now safely avoid it based on Prosigna test results.

In this webinar, Prof. Rob Stein presents the study results and, together with Kelly Marcom, Veracyte breast cancer medical director, discusses the potential impact of these findings on future treatment decisions for high-risk patients.
