Evaluation of Her-2/neu Status in Carcinomas With Amplified Chromosome 17 Centromere Locus
1 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Accurate assessment of Her-2/neu (erb-b2) status in breast carcinoma is essential for therapy planning. Clinical assays are targeted at protein overexpression (immunohistochemical analysis) or gene amplification (fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH]). Cases with aberrant FISH signal patterns are problematic and may lead to underreporting of Her-2/neu amplification. We performed FISH with additional...
