So does this mean that I have to fix some of the tumor for her2 for only 48 hours, while the er/pr can be fixed 72 hours? -----Original Message----- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Richard Cartun Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 2010 10:07 AM To: anita dudley; histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: Re: [Histonet] new er pr cap guidelines I believe they are posted on the CAP website.
