My Cleveland Clinic onco is underwhelmed by the Ki-67 data and doesn't test for it. But if Oncotype does actually include it, then I guess I was tasted for it. It's not anywhere in the report that patients get that I can find so I don't know what my number is or was.

ki67% is one of several (7?) proliferative factors in the Oncotype, so not reported by itself, I was told.
Since my ki67% was highish, and my Oncotype was low, I wondered if my other proliferative factors were low!
ps my original Oncotype was after biopsy and I convinced one doc to redo it on one of my post-surgical blocks, because my tumor was so variegated. I even chose the block. (This was partly because biopsy specimens were HER2+ and post surgery specimens were equivocal then negative, so I didn't trust any results from the biopsy.)
