MammaPrint - (pronounced) (MA-moo-print) laboratory test used to predict whether breast cancer will spread to other parts of the body or come back. The test looks at the activity of 70 different genes in the breast cancer tissue of women with early-stage invasive breast cancer that has not spread to the lymph nodes or has spread to 3 or fewer lymph nodes. If the test shows there is a high risk of the cancer spreading or coming back, treatment with anti-cancer drugs may be needed. Also called 70 gene signature
