Understanding Ki-67 and Mitosis in Breast Cancer: A Doctor's Perspective

Question
Dr. Nordquist,
My apptm. w surgeon is 4-19, but since my last question to you, another test has come back, the  Ki67 which is 16% which reads BORDERLINE/INTERMEDIATE. Does this number speak to the invasiveness of my cancer? The mitosis seems to be Intermediate also at 10%. Haven't had my node test yet. What do these numbers indicate, imply to you?
