Lin,
The KI-67 can be found on your pathology reports. So that information should available when you receive your reports.
The Oncotype DX is not performed on a fresh tissue sample, it done on
a parifin slide. Which means, the hospital that is holding your tumor samples needs to be notified and they send the paraifn slide out to
the lab who is performing the Oncotype test. If KI-67 levels are high
don't bother with Oncotype test, as the KI-67 levles will tell you the
same thing. Most Her2 positive do come back high on the Oncotype
DX test.
Regards,
Jean
