Equivocal for amplification of HER2

Coblndie

I just got my Fish Test back and it reads:

Results: Equivocal for amplification of HER2

Ration of HER2 signals to chromosome 17 centromere (CeP17) signals: 1.4

Mean number of HR2 signals per cell 5.7

Mean number of 17cep singals per cell: 4

What does that mean?

Here is BCO's info on Her2 testing, but generally it means that you need to have a confirmatory test, by another method of Her2 testing, because your initial test result is not firmly negative or positive enough.
