About test
What does Her2 by FISH - (Outlab) measure?
HER2 by FISH is a genetic test that evaluates whether extra copies of the HER2 (ERBB2) gene are present in tumour cells. It may be used when other HER2 testing results are unclear or need confirmation, most commonly in breast or stomach cancers. HER2 gene status may help healthcare professionals understand tumour characteristics and support decisions about whether HER2-targeted treatments could be considered. Results are interpreted along with pathology findings and other clinical information.
