Detection and quantitation by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and image analysis ofHER-2/neu gene amplification in breast cancer fine-needle samples
25 Oct 1999
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fine-needle sampling, although a practical and noninvasive method of tissue acquisition, has rarely been used for HER-2/neu fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). To assess HER-2/neu gene amplification in mammary carcinoma, FISH signals on cytology and corresponding tissue biopsies were detected visually and measured by image analysis. The results were correlated with patient and tumor...
