Popis: 523 Background: The 12-gene colon cancer assay is the first commercially available molecular assay to predict the risk of recurrence in stage II/III colon and rectal cancer. Rigorous evidence for clinical validity and utility of an assay is imperative since the result is used for treatment decision-making. This summary outlines the studies that meet an established definition of clinical validation and additional studies that support the utility of the assay. Methods: Prospectively designed studies using archival tissue with pre-specified methods, clinical outcomes, and analysis plan were considered clinical validation studies (Simon et al. JNCI 2009). Additional studies that demonstrated the utility of the assay in a clinical setting were considered supportive. Results: The assay has been clinically validated in four independent studies with 3315 patients (2390 stage II/628 stage III colon and 130 stage II/167 stage III rectal). All four studies demonstrated a significant association (p
