[Histonet] HER-2

[Rene J Buesa]

That is a very strange question by your pathologists, since they are the ones doing the reporting.
If they follow the reporting guidelines and arrive to a 2+ result, they should report it.
Another question would be: are our lab's 2+ reports above the "mean" for other labs? The answer to this question can be done only if your find out the 2+ percentage for all labs is, and compare with yours.
I think that your pathologists should contact CAP to find out if there are statistics on this issue.

    Hi,
      Our pathologists are concerned we may be reporting too many 2+ HER2’s.  Can someone  help with this?
 
     Thanks,
    Wilson
