What is the maximum days the report can be obtained for the test

The maximum days the report can be obtained for the HER2/neu Test By FISH is typically 5-7 business days.

What are the prerequisites for the test HER2/neu Test By FISH

  • Specimen: Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue block or at least 4 unstained slides with a minimum of 5 µm thickness
  • Requisition form with patient information and clinical history
  • Completed HER2/neu Test By FISH order form
  • Properly labeled specimen container
  • Written consent from the patient

What are the measure values for the test HER2/neu Test By FISH

  • Normal: Less than 2.0 copies of the HER2 gene per cell
  • Equivocal: 2.0 to 2.9 copies of the HER2 gene per cell
  • Positive: 3.0 or more copies of the HER2 gene per cell

What does this test HER2/neu Test By FISH identify?

The HER2/neu Test By FISH identifies the presence of the HER2/neu gene in breast cancer cells. This test uses fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to detect extra copies of the HER2/neu gene or an abnormal HER2/neu gene. The HER2/neu gene is responsible for producing a protein that promotes the growth of cancer cells. Determining the status of the HER2/neu gene helps doctors decide on the most appropriate treatment for breast cancer patients.

Why is this test HER2/neu Test By FISH taken?

HER2/neu Test By FISH is taken to determine the presence of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) gene amplification in breast cancer cells. This test is important because HER2 gene amplification is associated with more aggressive breast cancer and can help in determining the most appropriate treatment options for patients.
