Racial variation in the uptake of oncotype DX testing for early-stage breast cancer.
Oncotype DX (ODX) has the potential to improve quality of care; however, if not equally accessible across racial groups, disparities in cancer care quality may persist or worsen. The researchers examined racial disparities in ODX testing uptake. They did not find racial disparities in ODX testing for node-negative patients for whom ODX testing is guideline recommended and widely covered by insurers.

Oncologists' barriers and facilitators for oncotype DX use: qualitative study.
The purpose of this paper was to understand better the U.S. oncologists' oncotype DX (ODX) uptake and how they use ODX during adjuvant chemotherapy decision making. This study identified multi-level factors that influence ODX uptake, including organizational factors, interpersonal factors, and intrapersonal factors.

Temporal trends in postmastectomy radiation therapy and breast reconstruction associated with changes in national comprehensive cancer network guidelines.
The researchers sought to determine whether revised guidelines have increased postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) and affected receipt of breast reconstruction. They found that changes in NCCN guidelines have been associated with an increase in PMRT among patients with tumors 5 cm or smaller and 1 to 3 positive nodes without an associated decrease in receipt of reconstruction.
