Inter-laboratory homogenization of Ki67 scoring
2015
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
To increase the homogeneity of Ki67 scoring results among different laboratories, researchers from18 laboratories were trained and tested through a web-based exercise to score Ki67 stained tissue microarray cases. This standardization procedure allowed for an increase in Ki67 reproducibility between these labs. This shows that using Ki67 as a biomarker could be a potential solution for breast cancer diagnostics, although future research is still needed to make it a reality.
