REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Genomic Health, Inc. (Nasdaq: GHDX) today announced that the company will present results from seven Oncotype DX^® studies at the 2016 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, which will take place June 3-7 at McCormick Place in Chicago. The results will include:

• Four sub-analyses from the large population-based observational study based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Highlights include two independent presentations by the SEER-NCI investigators revealing significant disparities in the use of Oncotype DX in patients with early-stage invasive breast cancer. The primary SEER Registry study results, presented at the CTRC-AACR San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) in December 2015, demonstrated that Oncotype DX accurately predicts prospective patient outcomes in more than 42,000 patients, including those with node-negative and node-positive breast cancer.
• An oral presentation on the clinical use of the Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score™ and patient experiences in invasive breast cancer, led by investigators at the University of Michigan;
• Five-year clinical outcomes results from the prospective Phase III PlanB trial, one of the largest contemporary adjuvant breast cancer trials in Europe, conducted by the West German Study Group (WSG); and
• A study of the Oncotype DX Genomic Prostate Score in men with surgically treated intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer.

"Results from the latest breast and prostate cancer studies highlight the important impact of Oncotype DX in changing the treatment paradigm for hundreds of cancer patients every day," said Steven Shak, M.D., chief scientific officer, Genomic Health. "The breadth and strength of evidence for the clinical utility of Oncotype DX continue to be uniquely recognized by leading authorities in cancer. For example, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), in its updated breast cancer guidelines regarding node-negative and node-positive patients, specifically named Oncotype DX as the 'best validated' test for chemotherapy prediction."
