The Oncotype DX Test Helps You Choose the Best Prostate Cancer Treatment for You


The Oncotype DX prostate cancer test is intended to be used for men recently diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer. The test looks at the activity of certain genes in your tumor in order to provide personalized information about how aggressive your cancer is. All cancers are not the same. Your prostate cancer may be less aggressive or more favorable than what you would expect based on standard tests like Gleason Score or PSA alone. The information provided by the Oncotype DX prostate cancer test can help you and your doctor determine the most appropriate treatment options for you based on the biology of your individual cancer.

The Oncotype DX test is performed on the tissue sample previously obtained from your most recent biopsy
