A test to predict risk of breast cancer recurrence
MammaPrint is a genomic test to predict risk of breast cancer recurrence. It analyses the 70 most important genes associated with breast cancer recurrence and classifies patients into "Low Risk" and "High Risk" of developing metastases within the first 10 years after diagnosis.
BluePrint is a test to predict tumor behavior in breast cancer.
It analyses the activity of 80
genes to stratify a tumor into three subtypes:
- LUMINAL-TYPE: Are responsive to hormonal
(anti-estrogen) therapy.
- HER2-TYPE: Grow rapidly and may recur, can be
treated with anti HER2 therapies.
- BASAL-TYPE: Grow rapidly, do not respond to
hormone therapy or anti-HER2 targeted therapy
Molecular subtyping matters
Not all breast cancers respond the same to neoadjuvant therapy.
BluePrint identified and reclassified 13% of clinically Luminal type patients (ER+ by IHC) as genomically Basal-type. In response
to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, these ER+, Basal-type tumors had a Pathological Complete Response (pCR) rate of 34.5%, similar to pCR rate
(37.6%) of triple negative; much greater pCR than Luminal-B (5.6%) or Luminal-A (2.3%) patients.
Evidence matters for node positive patients
Not all lymph node positive breast cancers are the same. Only mammaprint is recommended by all major guidelines for node positive patients.
In MINDACT, clinical prospective randomised MammaPrint trial of 6,693 early stage
patients including 700 LN+ patients; 48% of clinically high risk patients were genomically
"Low Risk" by MammaPrint + BluePrint and spared chemotherapy.
Furthermore 96% of 1-3 LN+ MammaPrint
low risk patients were treated with only adjuvant endocrine therapy.
MammaPrint + BluePrint results in combination enables the Oncologist to make the best
treatment
decision for the breast cancer patient.
MammaPrint + BluePrint tests are run at the same time on the same tumor tissue sample (FFPE) to
provide
results in
ten days. This is the only FDA cleared test that is designed for women of all ages who:
• Are newly diagnosed with invasive early-stage breast cancer (Stage I or II)
• Have a tumor size up to 5 cm
• Are either lymph node-negative or have 1-3 positive lymph nodes
Your care should be as unique and individualised as you are!
I am an educationist, a wife, a mother and a breast
cancer survivor. I thought everyone who gets breast
cancer diagnosis gets the same treatment but I
learned that is not the case. After surgery at Shifa
International Hospital, I met with my radiation
oncologist and he recommended a genomic test
MammaPrint+BluePrint to help determine the
expected course of my disease and treatment
options. It is a binary test with definitive answers,
either you are “Low Risk” or “High Risk” for
recurrence. I decided to get my tumor tissue block
tested and received the results in two weeks.
I believe every patient should understand their
treatment and how it impacts their quality of life.
I am so thankful I had the MammaPrint+BluePrint
test and it came back that I was "Low Risk" and
did not need chemotherapy.
Allah is merciful. The test results changed my life
physically and emotionally. My treatment plan after
surgery was adjuvant endocrine therapy.
I feel cured.
Mrs Durrani - 2019
Over 75,000 women worldwide have chosen MammaPrint to help evaluate their risk of breast cancer recurrence. BluePrint test helps predict tumor behavior and better predict a patient's prognosis.
Every woman deserves a unique treatment strategy.

MammaPrint + BluePrint Result SummaryRecommended by expert medical guidelines
MammaPrint is included in numerous clinical practice guidelines developed by world-recognized cancer
care organizations. Clinical guidelines are evidence-based recommendations for healthcare
professionals involved in the management of patients.
Guidelines aim to improve the quality of care and services based on the most up to date
peer-reviewed evidence. For example, MammaPrint is the only test of its kind endorsed by the
American Society of Clinical Oncology for lymph node-positive patients.
