What is the Difference between Oncotype DS score and DX score

I was diagnosed in 2017 with Stage 3 Ductal cancer with 8 lymph nodes removed, When I asked NP recently what is the difference between the scores for each..she said the DX has a higher range of numbers than what the DS test did, and that my DS score was 12 at the time. I had 8 rounds of aggressive chemo every 2 weeks and 33 radiation. Does anyone know what the range was for the DS test? Thank You

I have read in several professional articles that there is an oncotype dx for dcis and the letters DS are associated with this test. But it doesn't seem you had ductal cancer in situ? If you did, then you should be able to look up about this test to see the range, or better yet ask your NP to help you.
