This particular profile is not widely used to screen for breast cancer as it has a relatively low diagnostic yield.(2) A proprietary battery (Symphony suite) of assays performed on paraffin-embedded tissue to provide a decision support system for managing breast cancer.
Symphony suite
MammaPrint—Determines risk of recurrence.
BluePrint—Determines molecular subtypes.
TargetPrint—Determines ER, PR and HER2 status.
TheraPrint—Identifies alternative types of therapy for metastatic disease.
