We report on a patient with breast cancer in whom there were areas of the tumor that were 3+ positive and negative for HER2 neu by immunohistochemistry, adjacent to each other. Depending on the area tested the results were completely different. The clinical implications are important. We recommend retesting a large portion of the tumor in all cases of initially negative test results.
我们报告了一名乳腺癌患者,其肿瘤区域通过免疫组织化学检测,HER2 neu呈3+阳性和阴性,二者相邻。根据检测区域的不同,结果完全不同。其临床意义重大。我们建议对所有初始检测结果为阴性的病例重新检测肿瘤的大部分区域。
