GeneSearch™ Breast Lymph Node (BLN) Assay Post Approval Study
The primary objective of this clinical study is to gather data to estimate the positive
predictive concordance (PPC) between the GeneSearch™ BLN Assay and histology as routinely
practiced, i.e., routine H&E histology of sentinel lymph node(s) (SLN) and, when available,
routine histology of non-sentinel axillary lymph nodes (ALN). This study will provide
information on the assay that will augment the performance data gained in pre-market
validation studies. In addition, with the assay being used for ALND decision-making, the
metastatic status of the non-sentinel axillary nodes can be taken into account in the
performance measures, i.e., if the patient's sentinel or non-sentinel nodes are
histologically positive, the patient will be considered positive for the primary comparison
to the assay results.
