My Ki67 is 11%. So it was mentiond in my path report as borderline (Anything above 20% is high). But since I had supraclavicular node positive, my onc didn't think ki67 is of any great significance in my prognosis. At the same time I was very surprised to learn that another patient with 4cm tumor and ki67 70% had negative nodes. I am really confused about this prolifiration factor.Julie
