Again, Oncotype is done for 1-3 positive nodes and chemo is not assumed.

From the Susan G. Komen site: Oncotype DX helps predict the chance of metastasis and the likelihood of benefit from chemotherapy for early breast cancers that are all of the following [14,32-34]:

Tumor size smaller than 5 cm
ER-positive (and will be treated with hormone therapy)
HER2-negative
Lymph node-negative or 1-3 positive lymph nodes

@windyshores You mentioned that the Oncotype test is done for 1 - 3 positive sentinel nodes. Would you mind sharing where you found this information?
