Various markers are routinely used in IHC for cancer diagnosis and prognosis:
HER2: Overexpressed in certain breast cancers and targeted by specific therapies. Estrogen Receptor (ER): Indicates hormone receptor-positive breast cancers. Progesterone Receptor (PR): Another marker for hormone receptor-positive breast cancers. Ki-67: A marker for cell proliferation, indicating the growth rate of the tumor. p53: A tumor suppressor protein often mutated in various cancers.
