Examination of Low ERBB2 Protein Expression in Breast Cancer Tissue

Aileen Fernandez et al.

Summary: The current standard ERBB2 IHC assay may not be suitable for selecting patients with low ERBB2 positivity for treatment with T-DXd, as the accuracy of scoring for ERBB2 INC in the low range (0 and 1+) was poor in this study, raising the risk of misassigning patients for treatment with T-DXd.

Clinical, pathological, and PAM50 gene expression features of HER2-low breast cancer

Francesco Schettini et al.

Summary: Novel antibody-drug conjugates targeting HER2 have shown high activity in HER2-negative breast cancer with low HER2 expression, but the clinical and molecular characteristics of HER2-low breast cancer remain unclear. This study reveals that HER2-low is more common in HR-positive disease than in TNBC, and emphasizes the significant biological heterogeneity of HER2-low BC, highlighting the importance of reproducible and sensitive assays for measuring low HER2 expression.

HER2 Molecular Marker Scoring Using Transfer Learning and Decision Level Fusion

Suman Tewary et al.

Summary: In the prognostic evaluation of breast cancer, the use of the immunohistochemical marker HER2 is crucial. Traditional manual scoring methods are time-consuming and prone to observer variation, prompting the exploration of computer vision and deep learning techniques for HER2 scoring. The study demonstrates success in using transfer learning architectures for accurate HER2 scoring in medical image analysis.

Can AI-assisted microscope facilitate breast HER2 interpretation? A multi-institutional ring study

Meng Yue et al.

Summary: The study aimed to improve the accuracy and reliability of HER2 assessment in breast cancer patients using an AI-assisted microscope. Results from three-round ring study showed significant improvement in consistency and accuracy of HER2 assessment using the AI-assisted microscope compared to conventional microscope and online WSI. The average acceptance rate of AI for all pathologists was 0.90, indicating agreement with most AI scoring results.
