Abstract

Aim: To prospectively assess the impact of gene expression-based assay Breast Cancer Index (BCI) on extended endocrine therapy (EET) decision-making. Patients & methods: The BCI-tested samples from primary tumors (Stage I–III, hormone receptor positive breast cancer, >3.5 year endocrine therapy). Patients and physicians completed questionnaires on EET preferences and decision conflict. Using these data, a fact-based economic model was developed to project the cost impact of BCI. Results: The BCI results affected treatment recommendations for 42/141 patients (overall mean, 62 year; 83% postmenopausal; 63% Stage I). Patient decision conflict decreased pre- to post-test. The BCI-related projected net savings (US$5190/patient) was robust under sensitivity analysis. Conclusion: Incorporating BCI into clinical practice meaningfully impacted physician EET recommendations and decreased patient decision conflict, with projected cost savings.

将癌症指数纳入扩展内分泌治疗决策的前瞻性决策影响研究

目的：前瞻性评估基于基因表达测定的癌症乳腺癌指数（BCI）对扩展内分泌治疗（EET）决策的影响。患者和方法：来自原发性肿瘤（I–III期，激素受体阳性乳腺癌症，>3.5年内分泌治疗）的BCI测试样本。患者和医生完成了关于EET偏好和决策冲突的问卷调查。利用这些数据，开发了一个基于事实的经济模型来预测脑机接口的成本影响。结果：脑机接口结果影响了42/141名患者的治疗建议（总体平均值，62岁；83%绝经后；63%为I期）。试验前后患者决策冲突减少。根据敏感性分析，脑机接口相关的预计净节省（5190美元/名患者）是稳健的。结论：将脑机接口纳入临床实践有意义地影响了医生的EET建议，减少了患者的决策冲突，并预计节省了成本。
