Understanding Your Breast Health Journey
When you notice changes in your breast health, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. At Oracle Genomics, we understand that this can be an emotionally challenging time, and we’re here to provide the clarity and support you need. Our comprehensive breast biopsy with ER/PR testing is designed to give you and your healthcare team the precise information required to make confident decisions about your treatment path.
What This Test Detects
This specialised biopsy procedure goes beyond simply identifying cancer cells. It provides crucial information about your specific breast cancer type by analysing:
- Cancer Presence: Confirms whether abnormal cells are present in the breast tissue
- Hormone Receptor Status: Determines if your cancer cells have estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors
- Tumour Characteristics: Provides detailed information about the cancer’s behaviour and growth patterns
Who Should Consider This Test
This diagnostic procedure is essential for women experiencing:
- New lumps or thickening in the breast or underarm area
- Unexplained changes in breast size, shape, or appearance
- Nipple discharge, inversion, or skin changes
- Persistent breast pain or discomfort
- Abnormal mammogram or ultrasound results
- Family history of breast cancer requiring diagnostic confirmation
Why This Matters for Your Health Journey
Understanding your cancer’s hormone receptor status is one of the most critical steps in breast cancer treatment planning. This information directly impacts:
- Treatment Selection: Determines whether hormone therapy will be effective
- Personalised Care: Guides your oncologist in creating a treatment plan specific to your cancer type
- Better Outcomes: Targeted treatments based on receptor status often lead to improved results
- Peace of Mind: Knowing your exact diagnosis helps reduce uncertainty and anxiety
Understanding Your Results
Our experienced pathologists provide clear, comprehensive reports that your healthcare team will discuss with you. Your results will indicate:
- Whether cancer cells are present
- The specific type and grade of cancer (if detected)
- Your ER and PR receptor status (positive or negative)
- Detailed findings that guide treatment decisions
Remember, a positive diagnosis means you have more targeted treatment options available, and our team is here to support you every step of the way.
