The report for the IHC ER-PRHER2NEU test will be delivered within 3 days.
Method and Test Type
The IHC ER-PRHER2NEU test is conducted using the IHC method. It falls under the genetics test category.
Doctor and Test Department
This test is performed by oncologists in the test department.
Pre Test Information
The IHC ER-PRHER2NEU test can be done with a doctor’s prescription. However, it is not applicable for surgery and pregnancy cases or for people planning to travel abroad.
Understanding the Test
The IHC ER-PRHER2NEU test focuses on three biomarkers: estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2NEU). These biomarkers play a crucial role in determining the growth and treatment options for breast cancer.
ER and PR are hormone receptors that indicate whether the cancer cells are dependent on estrogen and progesterone for growth. HER2NEU is a protein that promotes cell growth and is often overexpressed in certain breast cancer subtypes.
The IHC testing process involves staining tissue samples with specific antibodies that bind to these biomarkers. The stained cells are then examined under a microscope to determine the presence and extent of ER, PR, and HER2 expression.
This valuable information helps guide treatment decisions, such as hormone therapy or targeted therapies that specifically target HER2.

Test Details |
IHC ER-PR, HER2NEU refers to a type of immunohistochemistry (IHC) testing used to determine the expression of certain biomarkers in breast cancer cells. ER stands for estrogen receptor, PR stands for progesterone receptor, and HER2NEU refers to the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). These biomarkers are important in determining the prognosis and treatment options for breast cancer patients. ER and PR are hormone receptors that indicate whether the cancer cells are dependent on estrogen and progesterone for growth. HER2 is a protein that promotes cell growth and is often overexpressed in certain breast cancer subtypes. IHC testing involves staining tissue samples with specific antibodies that bind to these biomarkers. The stained cells are then examined under a microscope to determine the presence and extent of expression of ER, PR, and HER2. This information helps guide treatment decisions, such as hormone therapy or targeted therapies that specifically target HER2. |
