Breast Tumor Profile-1 (ER, PR & HER2) Price in Bangladesh

What is Breast Tumor Profile-1 (ER, PR & HER2)?

The Breast Tumor Profile-1 (ER, PR & HER2) test is used to analyze the characteristics of a breast tumor, helping guide treatment decisions. It measures the presence of estrogen receptors (ER), progesterone receptors (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) on cancer cells.

Tumors that test positive for ER and PR are often more responsive to hormone therapy, while HER2-positive tumors may respond to targeted therapies. The procedure involves taking a tissue sample from the tumor, usually through a biopsy.

Results help determine the most effective treatment plan, including chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or HER2-targeted treatments.

What to expect & how to prepare

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
