I was wondering what everyone is doing for their breast cancer
specimens in regards to immunos and/or flow cytometry?  We currently do
ER, PR, Her-2 (Dako), Ki-67, as well as ploidy and %S phase by flow
cytometry.  We have not changed our menu in some time and I wanted to
get a feel for what other institutions are doing.  My impression from
talking with some oncologists is that they do not need the ploidy/% S
phase but we keep getting requests.  I wonder if this is one of those
"we've always done it" situations.  I would appreciate any input while
we evaluate the situation.  Thanks in advance for your input.
