Does anyone know what the number scores on the ER and PR section of the Oncotype report mean?  I know that they tell whether you are ER/PR positive, but wondering if you could tell the extent to which you are ER/PR + from these scores.  For example, my ER score was 9.3.  On the scale, is this considered highly ER+, intermediate, or low?   My next onc appt. is several months away, so though I would see if anyone here knows the answer to this.

    JanMarch - While I don't know specifically what an ER of 9.3 translates to in %, I can tell you my ER score on the Oncotype was 9.5 and when I had my biopsy my cancer came back as 95% ER positive, so I would guess 9.3 is pretty high.  My PR score on the Oncotype was 9.0 and my biopsy showed my cancer as 90% PR positive.  Hope this helps.

    It is my understanding that you can't convert that to a %  my pathology reports from biopsy and surgery stated ER/PR+ 100% but both were somewhere in the 9s on the Oncotype, I can't find my report right now, to be exact.
