Multigene-expression tests for breast cancer

Multigene-expression tests for breast cancer are covered by compulsory health insurance subject to certain conditions. Multigene-expression tests are to help decide whether to proceed with chemotherapy following a breast cancer operation. An HTA report has been commissioned to evaluate the compulsory reimbursement of multigene-expression tests for early-stage breast cancer in order to examine the clinical effectiveness, safety, cost-effectiveness and budget impact as well as the ethical, legal, societal  and organizational aspects.
