AW: [Histonet] FISH Qualifications/Training

[Gudrun Lang]

Here it depends on the cases and the type of probes, that have to be read.
In some pathology departments in Austria Her2neu is counted by
histotechnologists, formerly trained by pathologists. Hematology probes for
translocations in lymphomas, or FISH in difficult tissues like sarcomas are
read by pathologists.

Because of the time consuming work there's a trend, that more
histotechnologists should be trained for counting. But in the end the doctor
has to sign the report.

Good Morning!

 

Does anyone know what are the requirements or qualifications for people to
be able to read HER 2 FISH slides?  Does it have to be a pathologist? 

Are there any courses/training available for this?

 

Thanks

 

Remy
