Patient's question:
The patient has endometrial cancer, underwent a hysterectomy 14 years ago, and currently has a recurrence. What do the letters marked in red in the image mean?Doctor's answer:
The content marked in the figure is immunohistochemistry. Currently, both estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor are positive. p53 is a tumor suppressor gene in humans. Ki67 reflects the high activity of cancer cells. Based on the results of immunohistochemistry, a postoperative chemotherapy plan can be formulated. Endometrial cancer causes great harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying attention to self-care training, eating more fruits and vegetables, and avoiding stimulating foods.
