This 7-minute Hindi explainer is for anyone holding a biopsy report with words like Grade 3, ER positive, PR positive, HER2 or Ki-67 on it. According to the description, Dr Atreya explains:

  • what grade means, and why Grade 3 does not mean "last stage" — grade describes how abnormal the cells look, stage describes how far the cancer has spread;
  • the difference between grade and stage;
  • what ER-positive, PR-positive and HER2 results mean for treatment choices;
  • how much weight Ki-67 carries;
  • which points on the report to understand, and which to raise with your doctor.

Why it matters

These results decide the treatment plan for breast cancer more than almost anything else — hormone therapy for ER/PR-positive cancers, HER2-targeted antibodies for HER2-positive cancers, chemotherapy and sometimes immunotherapy for triple-negative cancers. If any of these results are missing from your report, ask for them before treatment starts. See the breast cancer page and targeted therapy.
