My tumor met all of these criteria, so it makes sense that he didn’t do the oncotype test. It was 7mm, grade 1, 98% ER+, HER2-. I didn’t know what an oncotype even was, but I have seen so many others reference it when they talked about their cancer. Thank you for explaining!

"Conclusions: This retrospective analysis suggests that 97% of patients with T1b, grade 1, ER/PR positive, HER-2 negative breast cancers had Oncotype scores of less than 25. Hence Oncotype testing may be safely omitted for this group. Grade along with Ki 67 can identify a subset of T1bN0 ER/PR positive and Her 2 negative patients who do not need Oncotype testing."
