Description

Ki-67 (MIB-1) (Proliferative Index) is a marker of cell proliferation. A high value indicates a tumor that is proliferating more rapidly. Codes and coding instructions for this data item are site-specific.

Rationale

Ki-67 (MIB-1) (Proliferative Index) is a Registry Data Collection Variable in AJCC. It was a new data item for breast cases diagnosed 1/1/2018+. It will apply to neuroendocrine tumors (NET) of the gastrointestinal tract (AJCC Chapters 29 – 34) for cases diagnosed 1/1/2021+. High Ki-67 is an adverse prognostic factor and Ki-67 is a component of grade for these tumors. NCCN guidelines recommend that tumor differentiation, mitotic rate and Ki-67 should be recorded in the pathology report for these tumors.
