3)What is Test for Breast Cancer in IHC ?

IHC is used to show whether or not the cancer cells have HER2 receptors and/or hormone receptors on their surface. This information plays a critical role in treatment planning.

4)What is the Test for Breast Cancer in FISH?

At the time of a breast cancer diagnosis, FISH test results can help your doctor choose the treatments that will work best for you. There are several kinds of drugs that target and lower HER2 levels. These treatments work well for cancers that make too much of the protein. If your test finds high levels, your doctor may recommend one or more of these medications.
