Determination of Her-2/neu oncogene amplification is important in the current treatment of breast carcinoma. In addition to fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunohistochemical stain (HercepTest 1 ), chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) has been shown to be a sensitive and specific
BACKGROUND. Amplification of the HER-2/neu oncogene has been proposed as a target for antibody-based therapies and as a predictor of chemoresponsiveness in advanced breast carcinoma. Few studies have concentrated on HER-2/neu gene evaluation by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on distant me
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a validated method for detection of HER-2/neu gene amplification and was recently approved by the FDA for diagnostic use in paraffin-embedded tissue. Its use in cytologic specimens, however, has not been investigated. To see whether HER-2/neu gene amplifi
