摘要：
A method predicting the outcome, and prognosis and indicating treatment for patients afflicted with colorectal cancer by determining whether the number of copies of HER-2/neu gene in cancer cells from the patient exceeds four by in-situ hybridization. Patients having cells with five or more copies of the HER-2/neu gene are to be treated more aggressively or in combination with an anti-HER-2/neu antibody.
