Description
In 2018, the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the College of American Pathologists developed a focused update on human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) testing in breast cancer. The focused update endorses the 2013 HER2 testing guidelines while addressing outstanding questions related to HER2 testing. It focuses on specific clinical topics that have been raised by the clinical community and in the literature since the publication of the 2013 guidelines. This activity addresses each of the clinical questions and includes case studies that illustrate the practical application of what has been proposed in this update.

Objectives
As a result of participating in this activity, you should be able to:

  1. Describe the purpose of the 2018 HER2 Focused Update.
  2. State the most appropriate definition for IHC2+ (IHC equivocal).
  3. Clarify if HER2 testing must be repeated on a surgical specimen if initially negative test on core biopsy.
  4. Explain if invasive cancers with a HER2/chromosome enumeration probe 17 (CEP17) ratio of ≥2 but an average HER2 copy number of <4.0 signals per cell should be considered ISH positive.
  5. Explain if invasive cancers with an average HER2 copy number of ≥6.0 signals per cell but a HER2/CEP17 ratio of <2.0 should be considered ISH positive.
  6. Explain the appropriate diagnostic workup for invasive cancers with an average HER2 copy number ≥4.0 but <6.0 signals per cell and a HER2/CEP17 ratio <2.0 and initially deemed to have an equivocal HER2 ISH test result.
