Framework for teaching and learning informed shared decision making.

TL;DR: Outcomes of care and adherence to treatment regimens improve when patients are more involved and the ethical imperative of autonomy is reflected in legal trends that require a high standard of disclosure for informed consent.
Journal Article

Detection and quantitation of HER-2/neu gene amplification in human breast cancer archival material using fluorescence in situ hybridization.

TL;DR: FISH is compared to Southern, Northern and Western blot analyses as well as immunohistochemistry in a large cohort of archival human breast cancer specimens and is found to be superior to all other methodologies tested in assessing formalin fixed, paraffin embedded material for HER-2/neu amplification.
Journal Article

Sensitivity of HER-2/neu Antibodies in Archival Tissue Samples: Potential Source of Error in Immunohistochemical Studies of Oncogene Expression

TL;DR: The ability of these antibodies to detect overeexpression was extremely variable, providing an important explantation for the variable overexpression rate reported in the literature.
Journal Article

Her-2/neu expression in node-negative breast cancer: direct tissue quantitation by computerized image analysis and association of overexpression with increased risk of recurrent disease.

TL;DR: The purpose of this report is to address the issues surrounding this controversy and to evaluate the prognostic utility of overexpression in a carefully followed group of patients using appropriately characterized reagents and methods.
