Understanding Your Breast Cancer Journey Starts Here
Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis can be one of life’s most challenging moments, filled with uncertainty and questions about what comes next. We understand that having clear, accurate information about your specific cancer type is essential for making informed decisions about your treatment. Our comprehensive Breast Cancer Biomarker Profile provides the critical insights your oncologist needs to develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to your cancer’s characteristics.
What This Essential Test Reveals About Your Cancer
This advanced analysis examines four key biomarkers that determine how your breast cancer behaves and responds to treatment:
- ER (Oestrogen Receptor): Determines if your cancer grows in response to oestrogen
- PR (Progesterone Receptor): Identifies if progesterone fuels cancer growth
- HER-2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2): Reveals if targeted therapies will be effective
- Ki-67: Measures how quickly cancer cells are dividing
Each of these markers provides crucial information that directly impacts which treatments will work best for your specific situation, helping avoid ineffective therapies and unnecessary side effects.
