About MammaTyper®
MammaTyper® is a standardised multiplex real-time PCR test that quantifies mRNA levels of four essential breast cancer biomarkers (ER, PgR, HER2, and Ki-67) in surgical or biopsy tissue to stratify breast cancer into subtypes according to the St Gallen Guideline. Compared to the traditional immunohistochemistry (IHC) subtyping, MammaTyper® is a qPCR assay that provides objective and reproducible test results in a shorter turnaround time and obviates subjective IHC scoring by pathologists. Moreover, a large body of published clinical studies have demonstrated that MammaTyper® offers more accurate breast classification and can guide more effective treatment leading to improved patient outcome.
