Subject: oncology stumper!

I'm doing an oncology H&P, and the doctor says "This patient is a very pleasant 63-year-old white female diagnosed with right breast cancer in 2002, ER/PR positive, HER-2/neu s/l 3 pluses negative lymph nodes."

I'm stumped!!!
I've tried Google to no avail, but I'll keep looking!

I have experience with hematology/oncology but not radiation oncology.  Is it a difficult jump from one to the other?  Broad learning curve?  Any info would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

I'm doing an oncology report by an ESL on a patient with an abnormal platelet and white count.  She says they have sent investigations for molecular diagnostics including BCR-ABL translocation.  Then she seems to back track and correct herself and say BCR-ABL and translocation and jactermitation to evaluate for myeloproliferative disorders.  Any ideas?


Meanwhile, I'll go back to trying to research this on Google.

Subject: oncology help, please

No, I don't think it's hypermutation, but I believe I've got it. I believe she is saying BCR/ABL translocation and JAK2 mutation.
