I would call the Oncotype Dx folks and ask them about the effect of neo-adjuvant letrozole on test results obtained after surgery. The company is Genomic Health and they are very helpful.

Thank you so much! I have contacted them already and hope I can push my way to someone who will take an interest in this situation. If nothing else, this is an important issue that needs to be addressed if early aromatase Inhib. therapy becomes more common practice. with extended surgical waits. Studies supporting this practice are looking quite promising. Surgical Onc's and Oncologists need to communicate better during this early period. Again, I am not pointing fingers nor am I looking to blame. I want this resolved for my future health and peace of mind.
