Clinicopathologic characteristics of HER2 FISH-ambiguous breast cancer at a single institution.
Am J Surg Pathol. 2013; (1): 120-7
: The typical algorithm for human epidermal growth factor-2 (HER2) testing is immunohistochemistry (IHC), followed by reflex HER2 fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for HER2 IHC-ambiguous (2+) cases. At our institution, HER2 FISH testing is initially performed as part of routine breast cancer testing, with HER2 FISH-ambiguous (HER2:CEP17 ratio, 1.8 to 2.2) cases reflexed to HER2 IHC. This provides a unique dataset for lesions that may not routinely undergo FISH testing. The clinicopathologic characteristics of HER2 FISH-ambiguous cases are described.
