Comparison of HER2 Dual-Color and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization in Breast Cancer

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2; ERBB2 gene) is of prognostic and predictive significance in breast carcinoma. Both fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and dual-color in situ hybridization (DISH) methods are available. DISH and FISH are highly concordant in validation studies, but differences may be more prevalent in the equivocal range. Our goal was to compare FISH and DISH on a cohort enriched for equivocal …
