Evening.
Finally got to look at my pathology for both biopsy and lumpectomy PT1CPNO
ER8
PR8
HER2 0
KI67 50% (VERY HIGH)
Clear margins , lymph nodes clear but show reactive changes (possible infection somewhere)
Original plan was lumpectomy with snb-done radiotherapy followed by tablets.
Then after op was told might not have to have radiotherapy but will need letrozole :-s
Now tables have turned again as ki67 was high they have sent for oncotype testing. so have to wait 3 weeks for results
Re ki67 and oncotype is there usually a lot of difference in the scores ? Is it possible the oncotype will fall into low bracket or do they usually align?
Hi,
I don't really know but, I would think there is a strong correlation between Ki67 and OncoType DX score ie Higher score of Onco. I would be interested to know your score when you receive it, if you wouldn't mind sharing it that is.
My ki67 was at 50%my Oncotype came back at 20
so quite a big difference. So the theory they are in alignment is incorrect
result is 1week of new targeted radiotherapy followed by letrozole tablets for 5 yrs
Hi
thanks for the reply- sorry, I’ve just realised you had already stated it in your later reply to Peter awake. Glad you avoided chemo, assuming you did.
