Achieving 95% Cross-Methodological Concordance in HER2 Testing

Achieving 95% cross-methodological concordance in HER2 testing: causes and implications of discordant cases.

We were interested in determining our concordance between fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and a previously validated immunohistochemical HER2 assay to identify possible reasons for discordance and to determine if all reasons for discordance were addressed by the American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists guidelines. We reviewed 697 cases (2004-2007) in whic...

Achieving Consensus Deal with Methodological Issues in the Delphi Technique

Delphi is a powerful technique used to seek answers to appropriate questions. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the Delphi technique as a research method. This paper discusses the scientific merit of the Delphi technique by investigating on 41 studies of Journal of Agricultural Education from 1981 to 2013, and 2 studies of Journal of Agricultural Science and Technology. The...

Testing Techniques for Ada 95

ions that are designed in this way, using a private child package to declare package body data, are not only easier to test but are also more easily extended. Besides their usefulness as a replacement for test points, hierarchical library units can also improve the testability of a system in other ways. In particular, there are many operations which are specific to testing that would benefit fr...
