question about her2

Hi Ladies,
I read here everyday, and have learned so much. Thank you for all that you do. A quick question about Her2...is there a difference between over-expression and amplification? I have seen both descriptions in the literature, but not sure if they are the same, or not, and what the impact would be on treatment, etc.

Thanks!
