ER, PR (Histo) near me in Guwahati

The ER, PR (Histo) test is commonly used in the treatment planning of breast cancer. It detects the presence of Estrogen Receptors (ER) and Progesterone Receptors (PR) in tumor tissue using the immunohistochemistry (IHC) technique. These hormone receptors indicate whether the cancer is likely to respond to hormone therapy. If the tumor tests positive for ER and/or PR, it means that hormones like estrogen or progesterone may be helping the cancer grow, and blocking these hormones could slow or stop the tumor’s progression. This test provides important information that helps doctors decide whether hormone-blocking treatment are likely to be effective in managing the cancer.

Note: One representative block of the tumor is required. However, 1-4 representative blocks of tumors are acceptable.
