American Cancer Society - The US Food and Drug Administration has approved MammaPrint, a new genetic test that can help predict whether a woman's early stage breast  cancer is likely to come back after initial treatment. The test is one of several that could help breast cancer patients and their doctors make decisions about how aggressively to treat the disease.
