KI-67

  • A way to measure how fast cancer cells in a tumor are dividing.
  • Ki-67 is a protein that is found only in cells that are dividing. A high Ki-67 proliferation index means many cells are dividing quickly and that the cancer is likely to grow and spread.
  • A Ki-67 proliferation index > 30% is high.
  • The Ki-67 proliferation index may be used to help predict how well some cancers, such as breast cancer, will respond to certain treatments, such as chemotherapy.
