[Histonet] GUIDELINES FOR HER2NEU FIXATION

[Vickroy, Jim]

Last year I understood that the guidelines for formalin fixation of breast tissue for Her2neu recommended 6 - 48 hours.  I believe the guidelines left some discretion with needle biopsies also.  I am now hearing that the guidelines are going to or are already changed or restated.  Does anybody have any new information?
