Abstract
Introduction Gastric cancer is a highly heterogeneous malignant tumor of the digestive system. Anti-HER2 treatment can inhibit downstream signaling pathways and improve clinical treatment and outcomes in patients with HER2 protein overexpression. Currently, two standard methods for evaluating HER2 expression status are immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). However, these low-throughput assays often produce discordant or equivocal results. Methods In this study, we presented a new HER2 protein detection method based on mass spectrometry selected reaction monitoring (MS-SRM) and validated the method. We conducted a retrospective study on 118 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues from patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma in northern China, and we compared the MS-SRM results with those from IHC and correlated them with FISH. Results We established and validated the upper and lower detection limits (300-700 amol/μg) for abnormal HER2 protein expression in advanced gastric cancer. We also found that, among samples with mixed Lauren subtypes, those with a high level of HER2 expression had typical intestinal type features in pathology. Discussion This study demonstrated that the MS-SRM method can overcome the limitations and deficiencies of IHC, directly quantify the expression of HER2 protein in tumor cells and be used as a supplement to IHC. It has the potential to be used as a companion diagnosis for new drugs used to treat advanced gastric cancer. Large-scale clinical validation is required.

HER2 testing in breast cancers: comparison of assays and interpretation using ASCO/CAP 2013 and 2018 guidelines. Breast Cancer Res Treat 2021; 187:95-104. [PMID: 33813685 DOI: 10.1007/s10549-021-06208-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE HER2 overexpression and gene amplification are routinely tested by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), respectively. In addition, HER2 mRNA expression is also tested by the Oncotype DX assay. Discordance between laboratories among the different assays remains a problem. To improve the routine HER2 reporting, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the College of American Pathologists (CAP) updated their guidelines in 2018. Our study will compare concordance of HER2 status by IHC and FISH using ASCO/CAP 2013 and 2018 guidelines with Oncotype DX. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 657 estrogen receptor positive primary breast cancer cases with available Oncotype DX tests between 2011 and 2018. Medical records were reviewed for HER2 results by IHC, FISH, and Oncotype DX. The HER2 results by different assays and between 2013 and 2018 guidelines were compared. RESULTS Of the 657 cases, 280 were tested by IHC, FISH, and Oncotype DX. HER2-equivocal cases by IHC 2013 guidelines were all negative (67/67, 100%) by FISH 2018 guidelines and by Oncotype DX. HER2-equivocal cases by FISH 2013 guidelines were all negative (16/16, 100%) by FISH 2018 guidelines, while 15/16 (93.8%) negative and 1/16 (6.2%) equivocal by Oncotype DX. The HER2-equivocal and HER2-negative groups were similar in age, gender, histology, grade, and Ki67 score. CONCLUSIONS HER2 concordance was highest between Oncotype DX (99.6%) and FISH per 2018 guidelines. This suggests that the ASCO/CAP 2018 guidelines improved the accurate stratification of HER2-equivocal cases.

Assessment of HER2 using the 2018 ASCO/CAP guideline update for invasive breast cancer: a critical look at cases classified as HER2 2+ by immunohistochemistry. Virchows Arch 2021; 479:23-31. [PMID: 33527151 DOI: 10.1007/s00428-021-03034-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2020] [Revised: 01/08/2021] [Accepted: 01/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
In 2018, the American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists revised the criteria for HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) equivocal (2+) classification in their updated guideline. We reviewed invasive breast cancer specimens originally classified as equivocal (2+) under the 2018 guideline that underwent HER2 fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) testing from August 2018 to August 2019 at our Canadian reference hospital to investigate cases with ambiguous staining patterns between the 1+ and 2+ definitions. Demographics, pathologic features, and pre-analytic conditions were recorded. The H&E and corresponding HER2 IHC slides were reviewed to confirm tumor type and grade, and classify as HER2 indeterminate, 0, 1+, 2+, or "Intermediate" (staining features between the 1+ and 2+ classifications). FISH testing was performed on 289 cases and 273 met inclusion criteria. The FISH-amplified rate was 12.1%. Upon IHC review, 44.7% (122/273) of cases were reclassified as Intermediate. These cases had incomplete staining with moderate intensity (43/122, 35.3%) and/or <10% complete weak or moderate staining (102/122, 83.6%). Intermediate cases had a significantly lower frequency of amplified FISH results than 2+ cases (p < 0.0001), with only four (3.3%) FISH positive and two (1.6%) FISH heterogeneous. Our study highlights the ambiguity in the current guideline for classifying some HER2 IHC patterns. As the rate of gene amplification in these cases was low (4.9%), we recommend adhering to the 2018 HER2 2+ criteria for reflex FISH testing. However, cases with <10% moderate complete staining and certain heterogeneous patterns warrant special consideration. Further descriptive clarification of 1+ criteria is needed.

Weakly-Supervised Classification of HER2 Expression in Breast Cancer Haematoxylin and Eosin Stained Slides. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2020.

Abstract
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) evaluation commonly requires immunohistochemistry (IHC) tests on breast cancer tissue, in addition to the standard haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining tests. Additional costs and time spent on further testing might be avoided if HER2 overexpression could be effectively inferred from H&E stained slides, as a preliminary indication of the IHC result. In this paper, we propose the first method that aims to achieve this goal. The proposed method is based on multiple instance learning (MIL), using a convolutional neural network (CNN) that separately processes H&E stained slide tiles and outputs an IHC label. This CNN is pretrained on IHC stained slide tiles but does not use these data during inference/testing. H&E tiles are extracted from invasive tumour areas segmented with the HASHI algorithm. The individual tile labels are then combined to obtain a single label for the whole slide. The network was trained on slides from the HER2 Scoring Contest dataset (HER2SC) and tested on two disjoint subsets of slides from the HER2SC database and the TCGA-TCIA-BRCA (BRCA) collection. The proposed method attained 83.3 % classification accuracy on the HER2SC test set and 53.8 % on the BRCA test set. Although further efforts should be devoted to achieving improved performance, the obtained results are promising, suggesting that it is possible to perform HER2 overexpression classification on H&E stained tissue slides.

Comparison of Dako HercepTest and Ventana PATHWAY Anti-HER2 (4B5) Tests and Their Correlation With Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization in Breast Carcinoma. Appl Immunohistochem Mol Morphol 2020; 27:403-409. [PMID: 31233398 DOI: 10.1097/pai.0000000000000646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES We compared the performance of two Food and Drug Administration-approved HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) tests: HercepTest (Dako) and PATHWAY anti-HER2 (4B5) (Ventana). MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 180 invasive breast carcinomas previously tested by both HercepTest and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) were retested with 4B5. Three pathologists scored the HER2 IHC using the 2013 American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists guidelines. The HER2 IHC results were correlated with FISH. RESULTS Among 135 equivocal cases by HercepTest, 100 (74.1%) were negative by 4B5. Among 45 positive HercepTest cases 9 (20%) were equivocal by 4B5. Among 135 equivocal HercepTest results, 100 (74.1%) were nonamplified, 18 (13.3%) equivocal, and 17 (12.6%) amplified by FISH. Among the 45 positive results with HercepTest, 2 (4.5%) were nonamplified and 1 (2.2%) was equivocal by FISH. All 37 positive and 3 negative by 4B5 cases were amplified by FISH. The absolute interobserver agreement was high for both tests (Fleiss kappa=0.838 for HercepTest and 0.771 for 4B5). CONCLUSIONS PATHWAY anti-HER2 (4B5) significantly reduced the number of equivocal results that require additional testing. Although HercepTest was positive in a small number of HER2 nonamplified cases, 4B5 failed to detect 3 cases that were interpreted as positive by FISH, all with nonclassic or low levels of amplification.

The Impact of Partial Weak Staining in Normal Breast Epithelium on the Reliability of Immunohistochemistry Results in HercepTest-positive Breast Cancer. Clin Breast Cancer 2019; 19:340-344. [PMID: 31213407 DOI: 10.1016/j.clbc.2019.04.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2018] [Revised: 04/24/2019] [Accepted: 04/28/2019] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although normal epithelial cells do not show human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) gene amplification and should lack membrane staining by HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC), HER2 staining in benign breast epithelium is occasionally encountered. The significance of this occurrence has not yet been adequately studied, and its associated American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists recommendations are vague. Our objective is to assess the correlation between HER2 IHC 3+ breast cancer cases with normal epithelium staining (NES) and their corresponding fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) results, and to suggest recommendations for interpretation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 154 breast cancer cases with HER2 IHC 3+ were reviewed. NES, along with other clinicopathologic characteristics, were recorded. NES was scored as present or absent. All study cases were sent for FISH testing. All cases, and particularly those that showed false positivity for IHC (positive IHC, negative FISH) were examined for NES. RESULTS Of the 154 cases, 146 cases were FISH-positive (94.8%) and 2 failed FISH testing (1.3%). Conversely, 22% (34/154) of the cases showed NES for HER2. Of these 34 cases, 23 (67%) were FISH-amplified, 9 (26%) were FISH not amplified, and 2 failed FISH testing. Notably, all of the false-positive (FISH-negative) breast cancer cases showed some degree of positivity in normal breast epithelium. CONCLUSIONS Our findings, though descriptive, show a very strong association between NES and false-positive HER2 IHC. This confirms the need to carefully evaluate IHC-positive breast cancers for NES, and to have a low threshold for confirmatory testing by FISH.

Abstract
PURPOSE.— To update key recommendations of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) testing in breast cancer guideline. METHODS.— Based on the signals approach, an Expert Panel reviewed published literature and research survey results on the observed frequency of less common in situ hybridization (ISH) patterns to update the recommendations. RECOMMENDATIONS.— Two recommendations addressed via correspondence in 2015 are included. First, immunohistochemistry (IHC) 2+ is defined as invasive breast cancer with weak to moderate complete membrane staining observed in >10% of tumor cells. Second, if the initial HER2 test result in a core needle biopsy specimen of a primary breast cancer is negative, a new HER2 test may (not "must") be ordered on the excision specimen based on specific clinical criteria. The HER2 testing algorithm for breast cancer is updated to address the recommended workup for less common clinical scenarios (approximately 5% of cases) observed when using a dual-probe ISH assay. These scenarios are described as ISH group 2 ( HER2/chromosome enumeration probe 17 [CEP17] ratio ≥2.0; average HER2 copy number <4.0 signals per cell), ISH group 3 ( HER2/CEP17 ratio <2.0; average HER2 copy number ≥6.0 signals per cell), and ISH group 4 ( HER2/CEP17 ratio <2.0; average HER2 copy number ≥4.0 and <6.0 signals per cell). The diagnostic approach includes more rigorous interpretation criteria for ISH and requires concomitant IHC review for dual-probe ISH groups 2 to 4 to arrive at the most accurate HER2 status designation (positive or negative) based on combined interpretation of the ISH and IHC assays. The Expert Panel recommends that laboratories using single-probe ISH assays include concomitant IHC review as part of the interpretation of all single-probe ISH assay results.

Abstract
Purpose To update key recommendations of the American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) testing in breast cancer guideline. Methods Based on the signals approach, an Expert Panel reviewed published literature and research survey results on the observed frequency of less common in situ hybridization (ISH) patterns to update the recommendations. Recommendations Two recommendations addressed via correspondence in 2015 are included. First, immunohistochemistry (IHC) 2+ is defined as invasive breast cancer with weak to moderate complete membrane staining observed in > 10% of tumor cells. Second, if the initial HER2 test result in a core needle biopsy specimen of a primary breast cancer is negative, a new HER2 test may (not "must") be ordered on the excision specimen based on specific clinical criteria. The HER2 testing algorithm for breast cancer is updated to address the recommended work-up for less common clinical scenarios (approximately 5% of cases) observed when using a dual-probe ISH assay. These scenarios are described as ISH group 2 ( HER2/chromosome enumeration probe 17 [CEP17] ratio ≥ 2.0; average HER2 copy number < 4.0 signals per cell), ISH group 3 ( HER2/CEP17 ratio < 2.0; average HER2 copy number ≥ 6.0 signals per cell), and ISH group 4 ( HER2/CEP17 ratio < 2.0; average HER2 copy number ≥ 4.0 and < 6.0 signals per cell). The diagnostic approach includes more rigorous interpretation criteria for ISH and requires concomitant IHC review for dual-probe ISH groups 2 to 4 to arrive at the most accurate HER2 status designation (positive or negative) based on combined interpretation of the ISH and IHC assays. The Expert Panel recommends that laboratories using single-probe ISH assays include concomitant IHC review as part of the interpretation of all single-probe ISH assay results.

Abstract
Purpose To study the effect of the 2013 updates to the 2007 American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists recommendations for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) testing in breast cancer on testing patterns and interpretation in a large regional reference laboratory. Patients and Methods Patient cases with HER2 testing scores for breast biomarker evaluation were selected from our laboratory information system during two 12-month periods (2012 and 2014). The number of tests performed, type of specimens, proportion of HER2-positive and equivocal patient cases, and number of repeat tests on subsequent excisional specimens were examined and compared. Results Although the number of samples tested increased between 2012 and 2014 (2,201 v 2,558 patient cases; 2,278 v 2,659 tumors), HER2 positivity remained constant (15.7% v 15.5%, respectively). The number of repeat tests performed within 6 months more than doubled (122 [5.5%) of 2,201 v 302 [11.8%] of 2,558; P < .001), and the proportion of immunohistochemistry (IHC) 2+ tumors was significantly lower in 2014 than in 2012 (20.3% v 25.3%; P < .001). However, the proportion of patient cases with unresolved HER2 statuses (equivocal by IHC and in situ hybridization) was significantly higher in 2014 (four of 2,278 v 90 of 2,660; P < .001). Conclusion Our findings indicate that the 2013 updates to the American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists recommendations for HER2 testing in breast cancer did not affect the overall HER2-positivity rate or the proportion of patients eligible for HER2-targeted therapy. The proportion of tests and repeat tests performed increased, as did the number of patient cases categorized as ISH equivocal. The benefit of targeted therapy in the equivocal group is not proven, so targeted therapy should not be considered for patients in this category which should be redefined in future iterations of the recommendations.

Well-differentiated invasive breast cancers with equivocal HER2 immunohistochemistry: what is the yield of routine reflex in-situ hybridization testing? Histopathology 2017; 70:966-974. [PMID: 28032917 DOI: 10.1111/his.13160] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2016] [Accepted: 12/26/2016] [Indexed: 01/29/2023]
Abstract
AIMS The 2013 American Society of Clinical Oncology and the College of American Pathologists (ASCO/CAP) HER2 guidelines recommend testing all invasive breast cancers for HER2, typically with immunohistochemistry (IHC) followed by in-situ hybridization (ISH) when IHC is equivocal. As well-differentiated breast cancers are rarely HER2-positive, we assessed the value of routine reflex HER2 ISH testing for this subset of breast cancers. METHODS AND RESULTS We collected HER2 IHC 2+ cases and fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) data from primary breast cancers with well-differentiated tumour types (grade 1 ductal carcinomas, classic lobular carcinomas, tubular, cribriform and pure mucinous carcinomas) at our centre from 2010 to 2015. Haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and IHC slides were reviewed to confirm tumour type, grade and IHC score based on ASCO/CAP 2013 guidelines and their recent revisions. Of 4633 invasive carcinomas, 1133 had a well-differentiated tumour type; 177 of these were HER2 IHC equivocal, three of which were low-level amplified by FISH (0.3% of all well-differentiated tumours). One amplified case was classic invasive lobular carcinoma and two were invasive ductal carcinomas, grade 1. One amplified case had chromosome 17 monosomy, and one was rescored as HER2 IHC 1+ upon review. 'Basolateral' staining was noted in one amplified case and in 65 of 174 (37.4%) non-amplified cases. This incomplete membranous staining pattern was observed in the majority of invasive ductal carcinomas that were rescored as 1+ according to the revised 2013 guidelines. CONCLUSIONS The rate of HER2 amplification among well-differentiated breast cancers is very low. Basolateral staining in well-differentiated tumours may be overinterpreted as HER2 IHC 2+, but is rarely associated with HER2 amplification.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current methods to determine HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) status are affected by reproducibility issues and do not reliably predict benefit from anti-HER2 therapy. Quantitative measurement of HER2 may more accurately identify breast cancer (BC) patients who will respond to anti-HER2 treatments. METHODS Using selected reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (SRM-MS), we quantified HER2 protein levels in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples that had been classified as HER2 0, 1+, 2+ or 3+ by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Receiver operator curve (ROC) analysis was conducted to obtain optimal HER2 protein expression thresholds predictive of HER2 status (by standard IHC or in situ hybridization [ISH]) and of survival benefit after anti-HER2 therapy. RESULTS Absolute HER2 amol/μg levels were significantly correlated with both HER2 IHC and amplification status by ISH (p < 0.0001). A HER2 threshold of 740 amol/μg showed an agreement rate of 94% with IHC and ISH standard HER2 testing (p < 0.0001). Discordant cases (SRM-MS-negative/ISH-positive) showed a characteristic amplification pattern known as double minutes. HER2 levels >2200 amol/μg were significantly associated with longer disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in an adjuvant setting and with longer OS in a metastatic setting. CONCLUSION Quantitative HER2 measurement by SRM-MS is superior to IHC and ISH in predicting outcome after treatment with anti-HER2 therapy.
