Breast Marker Profile

Description

The Breast Marker Profile is a comprehensive set of tests designed to assess multiple biomarkers relevant to breast cancer. This profile typically includes tests for estrogen and progesterone receptors (ER/PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and possibly Ki-67, among others. These markers provide crucial information about the characteristics of breast cancer cells, helping oncologists determine the most appropriate treatment strategies. The results can indicate the likelihood of response to specific therapies, such as hormone therapy or targeted treatments. Additionally, this profile aids in predicting the risk of cancer recurrence and overall prognosis. It’s an essential tool in personalized breast cancer management, guiding decisions on surgery, chemotherapy, and other treatment modalities.
