If HER2 can travel by the blood to other areas (at least that's what I'm understanding from my reading here, is that right?) - isn't there a blood test for HER2?

Thanks

    There is a her2 serum test that my onc uses along with tumor markers. The problem is that it has the same reliability as others tm's. It is accurate for some and for others it is useless.



    It is usually only used for those with stage 4.
