FISH for Her-2 Neu: Cost, Symptoms, and Diagnosis

What is FISH for Her-2 Neu?

FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) for Her-2 Neu is a DNA test that is used to detect the Her-2 gene in breast cancer cells. Her-2 is a protein that promotes the growth of breast cancer cells. The FISH test is used to determine if a patient's breast cancer is Her-2 positive or negative. This information is used to determine the most effective treatment for the patient.

What are the Symptoms of Her-2 Positive Breast Cancer?

There are no specific symptoms of Her-2 positive breast cancer. Most patients with breast cancer experience a lump or thickening in the breast, changes in the size or shape of the breast, changes in the nipple, or discharge from the nipple. However, these symptoms can also be caused by other conditions, so it is important to see a healthcare provider if you experience any of these symptoms.

How is FISH for Her-2 Neu Test Done?

The FISH test is done on a breast cancer tissue sample that has been removed during a biopsy or surgery. The sample is sent to a laboratory where it is analyzed for the presence of Her-2 genes. The FISH test uses special chemicals and fluorescent dyes to label the Her-2 genes and make them visible under a microscope. The test results are usually available within a few days.
