Cancer Research and Clinic 2008;20(3):145-147
Malignant tumor is one of the principle diseases which threatens the health of human being, and its incidence rate has been dramatically increased in recent years.Modern medical model has transformed from biomedical model to the model of "biology-psychology-society",from experience-based medicine to evidence-based medicine (EBM).At the same time,individualization is also one of important principles of tumor combined therapy.EBM and individualization treatment are not to opposed to each other but to complement each other. This article expounded the relationship of EBM and individualization treatment in tumor therapy,and showed that both of these two principles must be grasped arid carried out in clinical work.

Objective To compare two assay methods, namely immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), in the detection of Her-2/neu status in mammary cancer tissues. Methods In 20 samples IHC technique was applied to detect the Her-2 protein in the cytomembrane of mammary cancer, and FISH was used to assess the amplification of Her-2/neu gene, and SPSS 10.0 software was employed to analyze the relationship between the two methods. Results The coincident rate of two methods was 85%, therefore there was a significant positive correlation between the two techniques (?~2=80.00, P=0.00). Conclusion The two assay methods, IHC and FISH showed a good coincidence in the detection of Her-2/neu status in mammary cancer tissues.
