Background: 21-gene breast cancer recurrence-score assay (Oncotype DX) have been used to predict recurrence risks and guide adjuvant chemotherapy. However, access to such tests is limited, especially in a population concentrated with uninsured and underserved patient populations. Previously equations such as the Magee equation has been proposed to predict correlation of the recurrence score and the estimated recurrence score with high concordance rate. This study examines the concordance of such an assay to predicted scores in uninsured and underrepresented minority heavy public hospital. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of 68 women with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer seen at University Hospital (public safety net hospital in Newark, New Jersey with greater majority of the patient population consists of underrepresented minorities such as Black/African Americans and Latino/Hispanics). 6 patients did not have pathology records, 9 patients did not have the Oncotype information available, and 4 patients were waiting on the results. Of the pre-menopausal eligible patients, two did not have any treatment or follow up information available and were included as part of the correlation assay, however, no. Results: Of the 47 eligible patients with follow-up information, 13 had a low recurrence score of up to 10 if post-menopausal and up to 15 if pre-menopausal, 22 had an intermediate recurrence score of 11 to 25 if post-menopausal and 16 to 25 if pre-menopausal, and 12 had a high recurrence score of greater than 26 according to the national comprehensive cancer network guidelines. The Pearson correlation between the Magee predicted score and Oncotype recurrence score was 0.73 (p < 0.001). All patients received hormone therapy and 5 patients total had recurred. 2 were pre-menopausal and had received adjuvant chemotherapy. 3 were post-menopausal in low and intermediate categories who had not received adjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusions: This study shows a high correlation between the predicted Magee score and Oncotype recurrence score. This reflects a possible use in the prediction scoring system as another resource for prognostication and guidance in treatment especially in the underinsured population.
