Prognostic Molecular Mammary Tumour Panel
The Prognostic Molecular Mammary Tumor Panel is a comprehensive immunohistochemical panel developed to assess the biological behavior of mammary tumors in veterinary patients. This panel includes nine antibodies: Her-2, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), cytokeratin 5/6 (CK5/6), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Ki-67, p63, E-cadherin, and P-cadherin. By analyzing these markers, the panel provides valuable insights into the tumor's molecular phenotype,predicting tumor behavior, aggressiveness, and potential therapeutic responses.
