[Histonet] EGFR/Her1

[Kapoor, Sue]

About a month ago, I had a patient request a "Her 1", I couldn't find any
reference to it...how did EGFR come about to being called "Her 1"??

question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !


not to second guess you,but i have been told (2days ago) that labs are not
reading results (kit or not) correctly and that this is not graded like her2
(even though it is called her1)so weak positivity is really positive not
neg, so studies should be done carefully.        dana
