## BACKGROUND. Fine-needle sampling, although a practical and noninvasive method of tissue acquisition, has rarely been used for HER-2/neu fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). To assess HER-2/neu gene amplification in mammary carcinoma, FISH signals on cytology and corresponding tissue biopsie
Investigation of early breast carcinogenesis is limited by the difficulty in obtaining cell cultures or adequate fresh frozen material and by the fact that available data from in situ techniques are interpreted in terms of various classification systems. Our studies in a series of pure ductal carcin
A PCR assay using capillary electrophoresis was designed for the detection of c-erbB-2 gene amplification in alcoholformalin-acetic acid (AFA)-fixed, paraffin-embedded biopsies from 81 consecutive breast tumors. c-erbB-2 expression was analyzed in the same samples using immuno-histochemistry (IHC).
