KRT5 and breast carcinoma: The IHC staining panel comprising ER, PR, HER2, Ki-67, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and cytokeratin 5/6 (CK5/6) can identify the molecular subtypes of breast cancer with satisfactory and reproducible accuracy: (1) Luminal A (ER+/PR±/HER2-/Ki-67−); (2) Luminal B (ER+/PR±/HER2−/Ki-67+; with Ki-67-positivity defined as ≥14%); (3) Luminal/HER2+ (HER2+/ER+/PR ±); (4) HER2+ (HER2+/ER−/PR−); and (5) Basal, including core basal (ER−/PR−/HER2−/EGFR+ or CK5/6+), and five-marker negative (ER−/PR−/HER2−/EGFR−/CK5/6−) subgroups (55, 56).
