Rich,
The original study done on the inaccuracies was done in 2003 or 4. In 2004 I provided the Pathologist at the Regional hospital that did my biopsy the full study article. He assured me that he would make certain that all of his specimens would be tested via FISH in the future. I think it was out of University of Pa.

P.S. IHC is the less expensive test..less cost to hospital. First thing I did at MDAnderson was to make sure FISH resting was done.
