摘要: The HER2 gene, amplified in 10 to 35% of invasive human breast carcinomas, has prognostic and therapeutic implications. Fluorescent situ hybridization is one method currently used for assessing status, but fluorescent involves the time-consuming step manual signal enumeration. To address this issue, Vysis developed an automated enumeration system, AutoVysion. A multicenter, blinded study was conducted on 39 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded carcinoma specimens, including 20 nonamplified 19 (weakly highly amplified), provided duplicate each site analysis. Calculation HER2/CEP17 ratio hands-on time both approaches were compared. Overall agreement classification results (positive negative) 92.5% (196 212). AutoVysion System requires cases with scanner within range 1.5 3.0. When data are excluded, between 98.8% (169 171). average per slide 4.59 versus 7.47 minutes (savings 2.88 minutes/slide). These suggest that can correctly classify specimens may increase overall efficiency testing.
