Repeat testing for ER, PR:

1. Repeat if the results were negative in needle biopsy and the tumor is poorly differentiated
2. Order ER, PR on any new/ second primary tumor identified in excision
3. When multiple foci of invasive carcinoma are seen, ensure that the largest two tumor foci are repeated (either on core or excision). Testing smaller invasive carcinomas is recommended if they are of different histologic type or higher grade
4. Repeat testing if the same tumor shows different histologic features or higher grade from the core biopsy
