[Histonet] RE: ANP.22970

[O'neil, Beth]

Per CAP checklist ANP.22970, it lists the expected published benchmarks for ER/PR, does anyone know where to find them for Her2 or MMR?

Thanks and Happy Friday!!

In response to Tanya's question, when I called CAP, they told me that if you were to view the Master Checklist, not your customized, it will list several references which I have copied for you below:
