A thought about serum HER2

I was just thinking. Do you think if ones FISH and IHC is really high, then their serum HEr2 would be more elevated? If someone has a thought or have a article that might talk about that.

Hi Michelle,

In one of the article posted by Lani it is mentioned that if you remove the ovaries the serun her2 result might be higher. Please check that out.
