What is Breast Tumor Profile-3 (ER,PR,Her-2 & Ki-67 & E-Cadherin)?

The Breast Tumor Profile-3 (ER, PR, HER2, Ki-67 & E-Cadherin) test is a detailed analysis of a breast cancer tumor, aiding in treatment decisions. It evaluates estrogen receptors (ER), progesterone receptors (PR), HER2, Ki-67 (a cell proliferation marker), and E-cadherin, a protein involved in cell adhesion.

ER and PR positivity suggest responsiveness to hormone therapy, while HER2-positive tumors may respond to targeted therapies. Ki-67 levels indicate how rapidly the tumor is growing.

E-cadherin, when absent or reduced, may suggest a more invasive or aggressive tumor. The biopsy-derived results guide treatment choices, including chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and HER2-targeted therapies.

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.
