Site-Specific Factor 12

HER2: Chromogenic In Situ Hybridization (CISH) Lab Value

Notes

**Note 1:** Record the results of only the Chromogenic In Situ Hybridization (CISH) test for Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) in this field. The test determines whether there are additional copies of the HER2/neu gene in the tumor cells. The results are reported as the mean number of copies of the HER2/neu gene on either 30 or 60 tumor cells. **Note 2:** Record the actual mean if given. Enter the stated mean to two decimal places. Use a trailing zero if needed. **Note 3:** The same laboratory test should be used to record information in **Site-Specific Factor 12, HER2: Chromogenic In Situ Hybridization (CISH) Lab Value** and **Site-Specific Factor 13, HER2: Chromogenic In Situ Hybridization (CISH) Test Interpretation**. **Note 4:** If the test is done but the actual mean is not stated, use code 997. **Note 5:** If the test is not mentioned in the medical record, code to 999 unless there are circumstances under which the test isn't performed, for example, no histologic specimen.
