Real-time PCR complements immunohistochemistry in the determination of HER-2/neu status in breast cancer

Andreea Nistor, Peter H Watson, Norman Pettigrew, Karim Tabiti, Angelika Dawson, Yvonne Myal BMC Clinical Pathology 2006, 6:2 (18 January 2006)

A real-time polymerase chain reaction test for determining the status of Her-s/neu amplification in breast cancer is comparable to fluorescent in-situ hybridization in cases found where the standard immunohistochemical method is indeterminate.
