The Need
Breast cancer biomarker ER/PGR/HER2/Ki-67 results need to be dependable and objective
- Clinicians need more reliable ER/PGR/HER2/Ki-67 assessment in FFPE tumor tissues.
- 5% of HER2 IHC results are equivocal based upon guide line recommended classifications.1
- Resolving HER2 IHC2+ equivocal results with FISH is challenging.1-4
- Technical and observer variability can lead to approximately 20% inaccurate ER and PGR results.5
- Ki-67 IHC scores deviate due to a lack of standardization.6

The Solution
Xpert Breast Cancer STRAT4 supports standardized ER/PGR/HER2/Ki‑67 mRNA assessment in less than 2 hours.
- Xpert Breast Cancer STRAT4 delivers semi-quantitative determination of ER/PGR/HER2/Ki-67 mRNA levels in FFPE invasive breast cancer sections
- CYFIP1* reference gene is used for sample normalization
- Three controls included in each test
- Software report allows for objective and easy result interpretation
CYFIP1: Cytoplasmic FMR1 interacting protein 1
The Impact
- Fast, clear, and accurate results by STRAT4 can help laboratories in diverse settings address various challenges with IHC/ISH testing to aid in the clinical evaluation of patients. 6
- May facilitate a cost-efficient, quick, easy, and quality solution in labs facing challenges with IHC.7-9
- Enables decentralized testing that doesn’t require a PCR laboratory to support breast cancer testing in low- and middle-income countries. 6,7,9
