Is HER2 amplification predictable by digital immunohistochemistry?
Background In the last decade anti-HER2 treatment became one of the best examples for targeted treatment. Since the aggressive behavior of HER2-positive breast cancers could have been successfully reduced by trastuzumab therapy, HER2 positive breast cancers recently show improving prognosis. According to a four-tiered classification of international clinical guidelines, cases with strong and co...
متن کاملComparative Study between Quantitative Digital Image Analysis and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization of Breast Cancer Equivocal HER2 2+ Cases
Optimization of workflow for breast cancer samples with equivocal HER2/neu score 2+ results in routine practice remains to be a central focus of the ongoing efforts to assess HER2 status. According to the College of American Pathologists/American Society of Clinical Oncology guidelines equivocal HER2/neu score 2+ cases are subject for further testing, usually by fluorescence in situ hybridizati...
متن کاملEvaluation of Immunohistochemistry-Equivocal (2+) HER2 Gene Status in Invasive Breast Cancer by Silver DNA in Situ Hybridization (SISH) and its Association with Clinicopathological Variables
Background and Objective:Determination of HER2 gene is crucial in breast carcinoma management and prognosis, as HER2 alterations are linked to a shorter disease-free period, overall survival and resistance to tamoxifen anti-estrogen therapy and other chemotherapy regimens, regardless of the nodal or hormone receptor status. This study aimed to...
متن کاملDigital Image Capture of Musical Scores
Musical scores have small details and complex markings, and are difficult to digitally capture and deliver well. All capture decisions should be made with a clear idea of the purpose of the resulting digital images, but master images must be flexible enough to fulfill unanticipated future uses. In order to provide a framework for decision-making in musical score digitization projects, best prac...
متن کاملDigital Image Analysis of HER2 Immunostained Gastric and Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinomas
Manual assessment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GGEJ) adenocarcinomas is prone to interobserver variability and hampered by tumor heterogeneity and different scoring criteria. Equivocal cases are frequent, requiring additional in situ hybridization analysis. This study aimed to evalua...
