Current standard of care requires that HER2 gene testing be performed on all newly diagnosed invasive breast cancers in order to determine eligibility for anti-HER2 antibody therapy and should be performed in accordance with current ASCO-CAP guidelines (Hammond et al., J Clin Oncol 29(15):e458, 2011; Wolff et al., J Clin Oncol 31(31):3997-4013, 2013). Here we describe a HER2 FISH methodology to evaluate HER2 gene status in FFPE breast tumor specimens.
当前的护理标准要求对所有新诊断的浸润性乳腺癌进行HER2基因检测,以确定是否适合接受抗HER2抗体治疗,并且应按照当前的美国临床肿瘤学会(ASCO)-美国病理学家学会(CAP)指南进行检测(Hammond等人,《临床肿瘤学杂志》29(15):e458,2011年;Wolff等人,《临床肿瘤学杂志》31(31):3997 - 4013,2013年)。在此,我们描述一种HER2荧光原位杂交(FISH)方法,用于评估福尔马林固定石蜡包埋(FFPE)乳腺肿瘤标本中的HER2基因状态。
