How is Oncotype DX Performed? Oncotype DX® is a non-invasive test that is performed on a small amount of the tissue removed during your original surgery (lumpectomy, mastectomy, or core biopsy). This means you do not have to undergo any additional invasive procedures for the test to be performed. After your surgical procedure, the tissue sample is preserved and placed into a small container for further diagnostic testing. To perform Oncotype DX, the pathologist will send several thin sections of the preserved tumor tissue sample to Genomic Health®. The Oncotype DX test results are then integrated with other laboratory test results to help your doctor formulate a treatment plan based on the unique characteristics of your tumor.
