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 […]
Surveying Genomic Landscapes in the Clinical Laboratory: DNA Views of Tumor Terrain
A web search for the term ‘genomic landscapes’ brings up a surprising number of publications from esteemed journals such as Cell, Science, and Nature Genetics. At first glance it would seem that the words ‘genomic’ and ‘landscape’ do not belong together. However, review of the many ‘genomic landscape’ publications from the past decade reveals a […]

Guidelines to the Galaxy of HER2 Testing in GEA Cancers
Say the words “HER2 gene amplification” and what immediately comes to mind is breast cancer. But did you know other cancers, including those of the stomach and esophagus (collectively called gastroesophagel adenocarinoma or GEA) can have too many (> 6) copies of the HER2 gene? That’s right, an estimated 20% of GEA cancers harbor an […]
