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?
