[Histonet] HER-2

[Rene J Buesa]

Yes, that is sometimes a common occurrence amongst pathologists, BUT those differences have to be solved in conference before issuing the report.
Difficult cases (at least at my hospital) are reviewed in conference,
I agree with you: your protocol (specially if it is based on DAKO's protocol) should remain as is.
The diagnosis differences should not determine a change.

I'd be interested to know if all your pathologists agree that the 2+ cases
are 2+.  Is it possible that one of the pathologists is calling more cases
as 2+ than the rest?  I would have a lot of questions before modifying the
staining protocol.  It would be helpful you posted more info.
