HER2 Price in Bangladesh

What is HER2?

HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) is a protein that can drive cancer growth when overexpressed, common in certain breast and gastric cancers. Testing HER2 status through immunohistochemistry (IHC) or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) determines if the cancer is HER2-positive, guiding treatment decisions.

HER2-positive cancers respond well to targeted therapies like trastuzumab, improving patient outcomes.

What to expect & how to prepare

HER2 is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your HER2 result rather than self-diagnosing.
