I have a Ki-67 result on both my initial biopsy report and on the full report. My breast surgeon said at my first appointment that the 70-80% from my initial biopsy was “significant”. The final 50% result from my lumpectomy is still frighteningly high but my oncologist assures me is very typical of TNBC.
I spent a lot of time worrying about a high Ki-67 and what it meant. Some things I read said a high Ki-67 meant a worse prognosis and others said a better chemo response. In the end I think it’s just something that goes hand in hand with TNBC (like being Grade 3) and not something additional to worry about.
