Deliver diagnostic confidence with the Roche breast cancer IHC/ISH portfolio

As a leader in breast cancer diagnostics, Roche Diagnostics offers numerous cancer diagnostic assays that enable pathology labs to deliver accurate results with confidence. We provide a robust menu of breast cancer diagnostic tools. Our portfolio of products delivers the high sensitivity and specificity you need from your assays.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH)

Experts predict over 680,000 deaths annually due to breast cancer, making it a leading cause of death in women.1 In developed countries breast cancer-related mortality has declined, in part due to therapeutic advances and evolution of biomarkers.2,3 For example, Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis and in situ hybridization (ISH) analysis provide important information related to tumor biology, help profile types of breast cancer and may improve treatment decisions.4

 

Clinical benefit

 

With proven accuracy, VENTANA breast cancer diagnostic assays help you identify patients other assays can miss—so you can deliver the right test, with clinical confidence in the shortest time possible.

Analytical advantage

Specific and sensitive rabbit monoclonal antibodies, best-in-class probes and powerful detection systems help you diagnose precisely and confidently.

 

Testing efficiency

 

Our comprehensive breast cancer workflow solution delivers fully automated assays on market-leading platforms, with digital pathology and workflow solutions that free up resources, reduce labor costs and reduce time to results.
