It is frustrating not knowing what all the info means, When I asked this question, I was told to call the lab who did you path.
I went back to my path and there were some ranges that were posted, you may have them also, but for er+ >5% is favorable, pr???5% is unfavorable, Ki67 (is the measure of cell proliferation), favorable is ???10%, 10-20% is borderline and >20% is unfavorable.
I went to NEX Profiler and you can see the data they have on reocurrance and they will ask you all kinds of questions from your path report and if you don't understand something, they have a link, Learn, and it describes what they are looking at/for. Hope this helps a little and I am sure other folks will have alot more info than me. take care Annemarie, k
p.s. When you get your FISH test back it will have the ratio for HER2 chromosomes, I had 17 in 60 nuclei. I know I was in the second grouping on NEX. On interpretation. ratio of greater than or equal to 2.0 indicates Her2 gene amplification adjusted for chromosome 17 poly. My fish was 7.6 amplified. Wish you the best.
