Date:9/6/2008

Name('Company Sanpshot'));" >GHDX) is a life science company focused on the development and commercialization of genomic-based clinical laboratory services for cancer that allow physicians and patients to make individualized treatment decisions. In 2004, Genomic Health launched its first test, Oncotype DX(R), which has been shown to predict the likelihood of breast cancer recurrence and the likelihood of chemotherapy benefit in a large portion of early-stage breast cancer patients. The company was founded in 2000 and is located in Redwood City, California. For more information, please visit http://www.genomichealth.com.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements relating to the company's belief that including HER2 measurement in its test results can provide additional insight into patients' individual tumor biology, the company's expectations regarding timing of inclusion of HER2 results in Oncotype DX reports, and the belief that the company's technology for measuring HER2 gene expression is intended safeguard against preanalytic variability in order to ensure a reproducible quantitative measure of HER2. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the results of additional clinical studies; the applicability of clinical study results to actual outcomes; the risk that we may not obtain sufficient levels of reimbursement for any future tests we may develop; our ability to develop and commercialize new products; the risks and uncertainties associated with the regulation of our tests by FDA; our ability to obtain capital when needed; our history of operating losses and the other risks set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risks set forth in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008.
