Finding Needles in the Tumor Haystack: Single Cell HER2 Testing with DEPArray™ NxT Technology
Inside the heterogeneous tumor tissue samples sent to clinical pathology laboratories for HER2 gene testing are cancer genomes with their own inherent complexity. The biopsy (or surgical excision) tissue represents a mixture of genomes from the tumor and normal stroma. Further compounding the heterogeneity problem, tumor genomes harboring HER2 gene amplifications may have amplified HER2 […]
