Re: [Histonet] Her2 IHC

[Mark Tarango via Histonet]

My lab does not have a written policy on this yet but are discussing it.
If the patient has a high grade tumor and HER2 IHC is 1+ (or even 0+), some
of our pathologists will reflex to FISH.  The oncologists will request it
sometimes too, more often when ER and PR are both negative.  We have found
several cases to be positive by FISH that were 0+ or 1+ by IHC.  I can't
say anything about response to HER2 therapy in this group of patients just
that they met the criteria for positive by FISH.

Anyone know where I can find the "old" special stain description sheets?  The 
ones we used back in the day when studying to take exam.

[Histonet] coverslipper

[Montse Verdú via Histonet]

Ai everybody,



We are looking at options for automated glass coverslipper workstations.

Actually we worked with CV5030 Leyca, but the service is not very efficient.

We must renew coverslipper and would like to know your experience.

Any suggestion???



Thanks!!!
