BIOPSY BREAST MODIFIED RADICALMASTECTOMY and ER and PR and HER2NEU Test
Test Name: BIOPSY BREAST MODIFIED RADICALMASTECTOMY and ER and PR and HER2NEU Test
Components: Tissue in 10% Neutral Buffered Formalin
Price: 1650.0 AED
Sample Condition: Tissue
Report Delivery: 6 days
Method: Histopathology
Test type: Genetics
Doctor: General Surgeon
Test Department:
Pre Test Information: BIOPSY BREAST (MODIFIED RADICALMASTECTOMY) +ER+PR+HER2NEU) can be done with a Doctors prescription. Prescription is not applicable for surgery and pregnancy cases or people planning to travel abroad.
Test Details:
A biopsy is a medical procedure where a small sample of tissue is taken from the body to be examined under a microscope. In this case, the biopsy is being done on the breast. Modified radical mastectomy is a surgical procedure where the entire breast tissue, including the breast gland, nipple, and some of the lymph nodes in the armpit area, are removed. This is usually done to treat breast cancer.
The notation ER+PR+HER2NEU refers to the results of a biopsy or testing of the breast tissue. ER stands for estrogen receptor, PR stands for progesterone receptor, and HER2NEU refers to the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2. These are proteins that can be present in breast cancer cells and can help determine the treatment options and prognosis of the disease.
A positive result for ER and PR means that the breast cancer cells have receptors for estrogen and progesterone, respectively. This indicates that hormone therapy, such as tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors, may be effective in treating the cancer. A positive result for HER2NEU means that the breast cancer cells have an overexpression or amplification of the HER2NEU gene. This indicates that targeted therapies, such as trastuzumab (Herceptin), may be effective in treating the cancer.
Overall, the information provided suggests that the biopsy results show a breast cancer that is positive for estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2NEU. This information will be important for determining the most appropriate treatment options for the individual.
