Find Clarity in Your Breast Cancer Diagnosis
When your HER2 test results come back as equivocal or borderline, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. You deserve definitive answers to make informed treatment decisions. Our FISH – Equivocal HER2 (ERBB2) Test provides the precision and clarity needed to resolve ambiguous results, giving you and your oncologist the confidence to choose the right treatment path.
Understanding Your HER2 Status with FISH Technology
The FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) test is a highly accurate genetic analysis that examines the HER2 gene in your cancer cells. When initial HER2 testing shows equivocal results, FISH provides the definitive answer by directly visualising the number of HER2 gene copies. This advanced technology eliminates the guesswork and delivers the precise information needed to determine if targeted HER2 therapies will be effective for your specific cancer.
