I have heard there is a new way of looking at the oncotype score that is a tool that takes into account your clinical features and gives an even more accurate predictive and diagnostic score. Does anyone know how you can find your RCSlin? I have a one centimeter ILC, node negative, grade 2 tumor and was 68 at diagnosis. I had a 31 oncotype but wonder what my RCSlin be?

We are in a similar situation. I am 73, 1.1 cm, node negative, grade 1, oncotype 27. My oncologist said she couldn't recommend chemo either yes or no, it is up to me. I am saying no. I don't have that much life left and an additional 3% is not significant enough to ruin 2 years of my life.
My oncologist showed me the RCSlin program during our consult. I didn't find it to be very useful.

speedlady, with the Oncotype 27, what did the report say your recurrence risk would be if you did endocrine therapy alone (i.e. no chemo). And after running the RSClin model, did this recurrence risk figure come down? I would think it would, given your age, your relatively small tumor and with the cancer being grade 1. All 3 factors are more favorable than the averages used to determine the Oncotype recurrence risk estimates.

Beesie, my recurrence risk with AI and radiation is 6%. Add chemo and it drops to 3%. To me it wasn't worth the extra 3% to go through chemo, especially at my age. If I were 20 years younger I'd do it. I can live with 94% chance of no recurrence. Thanks!

Bessie, do you think there is a big difference between RSCP and the RSClin model results . You enter the same information, it would be interesting to see the comparison. The RSCP really dropped my recurrence risk.
Thanks,
Susan

Susan, to my understanding RSClin would be considered an updated and refined version of the RSPC model. I don't know for sure but I suspect the results would be pretty similar.
RSClin was "derived from a larger and more contemporaneously treated cohort than that used for the development of RSPC" and adds an "estimation of incremental absolute chemotherapy benefit not previously provided by RSPC".
