[Histonet] relaxation of her2 standards

[Tench, Bill]

Don't hold your breath.  I have had multiple conversations with at least
one of the primary individuals who set the standards and i have not
detected ANY willingness to modify the standards and that includes a
hard and fast insistence on good validation for ANYTHING that differs
from standard processing.  If you are not in compliance you are asking
for a world of hurt (which may extend to the patient).  Of course, your
other comments about the tissue management are right on.
