Understanding Your Breast Cancer: The Key to Targeted Treatment
When facing a breast cancer diagnosis, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. But knowledge is power, and understanding your cancer’s specific characteristics is the first step toward effective, personalised treatment. Our comprehensive breast cancer biomarker test provides the crucial information your oncologist needs to create a treatment plan tailored specifically to your cancer’s biology.
What This Test Reveals About Your Cancer
This advanced immunohistochemistry (IHC) test analyses four critical biomarkers that determine how your breast cancer behaves and responds to treatment:
- Estrogen Receptor (ER): Determines if your cancer grows in response to estrogen
- Progesterone Receptor (PR): Shows if progesterone fuels your cancer’s growth
- HER2/Neu: Identifies if your cancer has excessive HER2 protein, making it more aggressive
- Ki67: Measures how quickly your cancer cells are dividing and growing
Understanding these markers helps your medical team choose treatments that specifically target your cancer’s weaknesses.
Who Should Consider This Comprehensive Biomarker Analysis?
This test is essential for anyone who has:
- Recently received a breast cancer diagnosis
- A family history of breast cancer and wants comprehensive baseline information
- Been recommended for targeted therapy by their oncologist
- Concerns about treatment side effects and wants to ensure the most appropriate approach
- Previously had inconclusive biomarker results
Early, accurate biomarker analysis can significantly impact your treatment success and quality of life during therapy.
Why This Detailed Analysis Matters for Your Treatment Journey
Getting the right information at the right time can transform your cancer journey:
- Personalised Treatment: Avoid unnecessary chemotherapy if your cancer responds to hormone therapy
- Targeted Therapies: Identify if you’re a candidate for HER2-targeted drugs like Herceptin
- Prognostic Insight: Understand your cancer’s aggressiveness and growth pattern
- Treatment Planning: Help your oncologist create the most effective treatment strategy
- Peace of Mind: Make informed decisions with confidence and clarity
Understanding Your Results: Clear, Actionable Information
We provide comprehensive, easy-to-understand results that your oncologist will discuss with you:
- ER/PR Status: Positive results mean hormone therapy may be effective
- HER2 Status: Positive indicates targeted therapy options are available
- Ki67 Percentage: Lower numbers suggest slower-growing cancer
- Treatment Recommendations: Based on your specific biomarker profile
Our medical team ensures you understand what each result means for your treatment options.
