What is Immunohistochemistry KI-67 - Tissue?

The Ki-67 test measures the percentage of cells that are actively dividing in a tissue sample. This helps doctors understand how fast a tumor might be growing or how aggressive it is.

Why is this test important?

A high Ki-67 index often indicates a rapidly growing tumor, which can influence treatment decisions and prognosis. It's widely used in various cancers, including breast cancer and neuroendocrine tumors, to assess tumor aggressiveness.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
