Type: proliferation marker
A high Ki-67 proliferation index means many cells are dividing quickly and that the cancer is likely to grow and spread.
Markers of proliferation index (Ki-67)

• Ki-67 serves primarily as a proliferation marker: higher levels are generally indicative of aggressive disease and poorer outcomes across many cancer types.
• While Ki-67 itself is not considered a driver of tumorigenesis, its expression mirrors the high proliferative activity associated with protumoral behavior.
• It is widely used in clinical practice to aid in tumor grading, prognostication, and treatment planning.
