What does 70% ki67 positivity mean?



A Ki-67 positive rate of 70% indicates that the patient’s cancer cells are in a relatively active state of proliferation and have a certain degree of risk.

Ki-67 is a protein encoded by the MKi gene, and its value ranges from 0 to 100%, the higher the value, the higher the proliferation of the patient’s cancer cells. During a patient’s routine pathology examination, the pathologist will measure the size of the Ki-67 value of the patient’s cancer cells, which will be reflected in the pathology report.

Clinicians will adjust the type and dose of chemotherapy drugs according to the Ki-67 value in the pathology report. However, the Ki-67 value alone cannot directly guide the doctor to use a certain drug.
