Ahh... looked up my records. My Topo IIa test was done at OncoDiagnostics Lab (Veripath Laboratories), Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. It was a Topo IIa FISH test (yes, FISH is the method they find this... just like the FISH test for HER2).
Mine TOPO IIa result was 1.3 and anything under 2.0 is 'non-amplified'.
