I have heard this stuff before ie: herceptest,however i am very aware of the hcfa form used in billing (it is universal-all over the country)and nowhere does it ask what test method!!!! now i think it might be wise to run some correlation studies with the dako kit, but the antibody egfr has been around longer than erbitux and from many manufacturers, and all that said one has to do whats best for ones lab and with the pathologists approval. i run a different clone for her2 and i run cd117 for another monoclonal therapy(gleevic) and all patients are receiving according to their doctors whatever they need and were getting paid, and yes there is full disclosure on our reports. just my 2 cents
