EndoPredict results are simple to understand and straightforward to explain.
For this case, you could say:
- Your EndoPredict result indicates that your cancer is unlikely to come back in other parts of your body.
- This result takes into account both your tumor’s gene activity and clinical information, giving a personalized view of your situation.
- It suggests there is a 92% probability that your cancer will not return within the next 10 years.
- Chemotherapy could slightly improve this probability by about 2%, but for many patients, the small benefit may not justify the potential side effects.
Make Confident Decisions Knowing Her Result
- Comes from the most advanced, second-generation prognostic and predictive test1,2
- Combines clinical factors with molecular insights from genes linked to early and late recurrence.3-4
- Is clinically validated and prospectively confirmed in both post- and premenopausal patients.1-10
- Provides long-term insight, including distant-recurrence information up to 15 years, to support treatment planning.5
- Comes from a test recommended in the ESMO guidelines with Level of Evidence 1A.11
What it Meant for this Patient
Based on her clear EndoPredict result, the patient and her clinician decided to proceed without chemotherapy – avoiding unnecessary side effects while feeling confident in her favorable long-term outlook.

EndoPredict results are simple to understand and straightforward to explain.
- Your EndoPredict result shows that your cancer is at low-risk of coming back in other parts of your body.
- The result combines information from your tumor’s gene activity and clinical factors to give a clear picture of your situation.
- Based on this, there is a 91% chance your cancer will not return within 10 years.
- Adding chemotherapy could increase this chance by 3%, but the small potential benefit may not outweigh the possible side effects.

What it Meant for this Patient
Guided by her result, the patient and her clinician chose to continue treatment without chemotherapy, sparing her from potential side effects and giving them confidence in her treatment plan.

EndoPredict results are simple to understand and straightforward to explain.
For this case, you could say:
- Your EndoPredict result shows a high-risk score.
- This means that, based on your tumor’s genes and other clinical factors, there is a 19% chance your cancer could come back within 10 years - about 1 in 5 patients.
- Chemotherapy can reduce this risk by around 8%, bringing it down to roughly 1 in 13, which may help improve your long-term outlook.

What it Meant for this Patient
Based on her clear result, this patient and her clinician decided to add adjuvant chemotherapy to her treatment plan. They could make this choice with confidence knowing that although chemotherapy might be difficult, it will significantly lower her risk of recurrence.
