Multigene predictors are being used increasingly in early stage breast cancer patients for prediction and prognosis. However, one consequence of the increased use of multigene predictors, and the heightened efforts towards their incorporation into routine clinical practice, is the potential for future malpractice litigation. It is therefore important to ascertain the strength of the evidence for using the different commercially available multigene predictor assays clinically. We evaluated the literature for evidence of clinical validity of four currently available gene signatures, and to assess the influence of the 21-gene-expression assay Oncotype DX® (Genomic Health Inc., Redwood City, CA, USA) on changes in treatment recommendations. A systematic search of the peer-reviewed literature from January 2002 to March 2014 for multigene predictor assays was carried out, and a meta-analysis was conducted. The adjusted Cox hazard ratio average for studies that met eligibility criteria was 3.538 (95% CI: 1.513 – 8.469). The 21-gene signature showed the highest stability in the estimation of likelihood of distant risk of recurrence. Using recurrence scores resulted in changes in treatment recommendations in 31.8% of all patients in the studies. This study may provide insight about the use of multigene predictors in clinical practice for prediction and prognosis in breast cancer.
