Course Description
Breast cancers that have human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) immunohistochemistry (IHC) scores of 1+ or 2+ with negative in-situ hybridization (ISH) represent around 50% of breast cancers. As research continues to explore this population of patients, which exist within the clinically negative HER2 classification, the pathologist’s approach to scoring HER2 across this complete spectrum may need to be revisited.
This comprehensive short course aims to support pathologists with distinguishing and differentiating discrete IHC scores, using a combination of short presentations and focused virtual microscopy tutorials utilizing clinical cases. Together, the three sessions will reinforce current scoring guidelines, identify opportunities to standardize testing and scoring practices, demonstrate approaches to scoring challenging cases, and showcase best practice recommendations.
