what is the difference? My MO did the Mammaprint, which came back high risk. Also doubt Medicare would pay for both, I’m sure they are expensive. Seems I am reading most people get Oncotype.

Confused! Thanks for any clarification you all can give

    I believe that more drs. are using mammaprint now. I have seen many people get Oncotype first, then use the mammaprint if they are intermediate. Mammaprint just has high and low. I do not remember seeing anyone get Mammaprint first, then Oncotype. I would think that a high mammaprint is pretty definitive, but of course, ask your oncologist.
