A member asked:
Postpartum biopsy "expression of placental alkaline phosphatase and p63 within trophoblastic elements but no expression of p16." what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Trophoblastic tumors: This sounds like you are reading this from a placental pathology report. It is important that you discuss this in detail with your doctor who can put it in the context of your individual health history. These tumor markers are used to delineate trophoplastic tumors. If there is a concern for cancer in your health history follow up is very important.
