HER2 test: This test shows whether the tissue has a protein called human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) or the HER2/neu gene. Having too much protein or too many copies of the gene in the tissue may increase the chance that the breast cancer will come back after treatment.

If they have come positive, then you should go to the doctor and take treatment. Maamogram is the screening test to pick up breast cancer i was told.
