@ckins105 there is an Oncotype for DCIS https://precisiononcology.exactsciences.com/patients-and-caregivers/understanding-your-diagnosis/breast-cancer/breast-dcis-score
I would request it if you have time to decide. It takes about two weeks. Although you are not having chemo (so maybe that is why they didn't do it) you can still get risk of recurrence and how much medication would cut that risk.
I had grade 3 but low Oncotype. The Oncotype doesn't always match pathology.
