BERLIN, GERMANY, October 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — Cerca Biotech., a German-based diagnostics company, announces the publication of a white paper highlighting the importance of molecular diagnostics in HER2-low breast cancer cases as a potential to improve the diagnostic complexity.
MammaTyper® is a molecular diagnostic test from Cerca Biotech, a reverse transcription, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) test for the quantitative determination of the four key biomarkers used in the subtyping of breast cancer. Molecular subtyping is essential for accurate treatment decisions and gives an indication of prognosis.
This recent white paper, released to coincide with Breast Cancer Awareness month, highlights the important, central role that accurate biomarker classification plays in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. The white paper discusses how the recognition of HER2-low and -ultralow breast cancer categories has expanded the need for precise classification, to ensure that patients receive the most appropriate therapies.
Dr. Laia Bernet, Pathologist and Co-ordinator of breast pathology laboratories, Ribera Health Group, Spain said “MammaTyper® provides a standardised, automated, reproducible test which is easy to implement in any lab that can improve patient selection for targeted therapies.”
The emergence of HER2-low and HER2-ultralow breast cancers as clinically relevant subtypes marks a significant shift in the diagnostic and therapeutic landscape. These classifications offer new treatment opportunities for patients who were previously considered HER2-negative. Quantitative molecular tools – such as MammaTyper® offer a practical way to enhance diagnostic accuracy. By supporting immunohistochemistry (IHC), these assays can help resolve ambiguity in borderline and low expression cases in increasing confidence in HER2 classification to make the most of the new treatment options, and ultimately, improve outcomes.
Mr. Richard Hughes, Commercial Director of Cerca Biotech, stated, “With the release of this latest White paper, we are continuing to raise awareness of the availability of accurate, molecular diagnostic tools as part of our mission to drive innovations and improvements in breast cancer diagnostics. Using MammaTyper® means you can ensure that every tissue sample is tested reliably, accurately, and quickly.”
