I was in a study for hormone suppression prior to surgery that measured Ki67. What is Ki67 and is it just a measurement in breast cancer or also in other cancer?

Hi Laurie, I sent your question to Dr. Chumsri. Here's her reply: Ki67 is a protein that expresses in any cells in the body that are dividing. It is not specific to breast cancer. Ki67 is often used in clinical trials to evaluate the ability of drugs to target proliferation in cancer.
