Immunohistochemistry

Ki-67 index

Ki-67 in an invasive breast cancer: cancer nuclei are stained (brown). There is tumor cell positivity in 70% of the cells (Ki-67 labelling index = 70%).

Ki-67 index is mainly relevant in those with stage T1-T2, N0-N1, to determine if chemotherapy is needed (if Ki67 is >30% rather than <5%).[1]

Ki-67 index is most feasibly quantified by a hot spot method,Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag Hot spots are areas in which Ki-67 staining is particularly higher relative to the adjacent tumor areas.[2] Usually, the invasive edge of a tumor is a hot spot.[2] When a tumor had several hot spots, the “hottest” spot is selected.[2] Aim to count at least 500 cells in each case, but this is not always possible in cases with low tumor cell density and small tumor size.[2] Also aim to include at least three high-power (×40 objective) fields. [3] If a comparisons must be made between core biopsies and sections from an excision, evaluation of the latter should be across the whole tumor.[1] Only nuclear staining counts. Staining intensity of a positive nucleus is not relevant.[1]
