[Histonet] Breast Her2Neu IHC vs FISH

[Jason McGough]

Does anyone know or can you point me in the right direction to some literature about how to properly test for Her2Neu (IHC vs. FISH) on breast tumors if the cold ischemia time is greater than 1 hour or if the formalin fixation times are outside of the recommended time range? Also, what if the specimen has been placed in decal? We are struggling to find any documentation of how to properly test Her2Neu if the specimen is outside of these ranges. Thanks for your help!
