Authors' recommendations:
In this Oncotype DX economic model, we have evaluated two options, to prescribe chemotherapy for patients with RE> 30 values or for patients with RS>18. In the spanish setting, for a willingness to pay € 30,000 per QALY, the best option would appear to be to prescribe chemotherapy for patients with an Oncotype DX RS>18. This result is similar to Tsoi et al. results and different with regard to Hornberger et al. results. This model does not provide information relative to other test as MammaPrint, to compare results. There are needed more studies in this context between different commercialized tests. In relation with the studies assessed, there are suggested more studies that include indirect costs analysis as well as major number of studies with women N+, since the update results obtained are not conclusive.
