The FISH test for Her2/neu can be done on DCIS. Google DCIS and her2/neu, you will find lots of information. I had this condition and got a vaccine at the University of Pennsylvania. DCIS that is her2/neu + is much more (6times more) likely to develop into invasive breast cancer. Before they knew a lot about this, they did not test DCIS, now it is considered standard practice.
