[Histonet] new er pr cap guidelines

[Mike Pence]

This was my first post about this issue: (I got no responses for)

Yes, the paper is there, however, I see they addressed the fixation time in NBF for er/pr but I do not see where they talk about the time changing for her2. So does this mean that I have to fix some of the tumor for her2 for only 48 hours, while the er/pr can be fixed 72 hours?

I am not sure why CAP would not address this up front. This is a big problem in our lab.

Dr. Hammond presented the new guidelines for ER (it is just ER not PR as I
recall) at the AIMM meeting in Florida at the end of January this year and the fixation times for Breast have been extended to 72 hours, it is supposed to be changed to 72 hours for Her2 as well but I do not know if that has happened yet or not.

Anita:
Maybe your pathologist mean this recommendations:
"Consensus Recommendations on Estrogen Receptor
Testing in Breast Cancer By Immunohistochemistry"
(Appl Immunohistochem Mol Morphol 2008;16:513-520)?
These recommendations came not from CAP.
It is refer only to ER, but not PR.
