I don't know if it is possible for you to answer this: But will this test be available in countries outside the US? I just heard about it, sounds interesting - and of course I'll ask my onc next time I see him. I live in Norway.

Thanks!

Dr. Carney,

Thank you for providing information to us on the serum Her-2/neu test. I've discussed the test with my oncologist previously, and will print out the info from your web site for his review. I'll find out if he wants material sent to him and we'll "stay tuned" for the news from ASCO this June

Best Regards,
Lolly

P.S. to Dr. Carney,

Has the test been predictive of brain metastasis in patients otherwise showing NED?

Regards,
Lolly

Thank you Lolly. Let us know how you make out with your Oncologist.
We don't yet have any data concerning serum HER-2/neu and brain mets. Dr Lotz in Paris has told me he is interested in doing such a study.

Hi Toril. i would contact Lab Corp and Quest to see how to get the test done in Norway. if you go to our website, www.oncogene.com it will link you to Lab Corp and Quest. I am also checking with my colleagues at DAKo and Bayer concerning more specific information about Norway. I'll let you know when i find out.
