摘要

The identification of HER2-low expression has become critical for breast cancer treatment decisions in recent years. We retrospectively assessed the prevalence of HER2-low in 2270 samples using different immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays in three reference laboratories (LAB) of the same pathology network in Brazil. From 2021 to 2023, LAB A and LAB B routinely used Dako anti-c-erbB-2 polyclonal antibody (A0485) on Autostainer Link 48 Agilent/Dako and had HER2-low prevalence of 16 to 19%. In contrast, Lab C was using PATHWAY® anti-HER-2/neu (4B5) antibody on Benchmark Ultra instrument and found that 44% of the samples had HER2-low expression. We then prospectively analyzed 103 HER2-negative samples from LAB A (as per Dako A0845) and detected a switch from HER2-zero to HER2-low in 48% and to HER2-ultralow in 12%. Finally, 87 HER2-negative samples from LAB B (as per Dako A0485) were sent to LAB A for re-scoring by another pathologist, with no discordances in HER2-low status. Our data show that HER2 expression can be strongly influenced by the antibody assay used, with the highest HER2-low and HER2-ultralow detection with the Ventana 4B5 assay, as in pivotal clinical trials in these indications.
