Waiting for results of oncotype. How does that differ from the K167 test?

I guess you have the results by now. How did it go?

The way I understood when I had both of these tests:

- K167 is a measurement of cancer cell growth to estimate how 'aggressive' it was when it was removed

- Oncotype looks at genetic characteristics of the cancer to predict how 'aggressive' it should be in general

Not what you're looking for?
