چکیده
PURPOSE To develop a guideline to improve the accuracy of immunohistochemical (IHC) estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR) testing in breast cancer and the utility of these receptors as predictive markers. METHODS The American Society of Clinical Oncology and the College of American Pathologists convened an international Expert Panel that conducted a systematic review and evaluation of the literature in partnership with Cancer Care Ontario and developed recommendations for optimal IHC ER/PgR testing performance. RESULTS Up to 20% of current IHC determinations of ER and PgR testing worldwide may be inaccurate (false negative or false positive). Most of the issues with testing have occurred because of variation in preanalytic variables, thresholds for positivity, and interpretation criteria. RECOMMENDATIONS The Panel recommends that ER and PgR status be determined on all invasive breast cancers and breast cancer recurrences. A testing algorithm that relies on accurate, reproducible assay performance is proposed. Elements to reliably reduce assay variation are specified. It is recommended that ER and PgR assays be considered positive if there are at least 1% positive tumor nuclei in the sample on testing in the presence of expected reactivity of internal (normal epithelial elements) and external controls. The absence of benefit from endocrine therapy for women with ER-negative invasive breast cancers has been confirmed in large overviews of randomized clinical trials.

متن کاملPathologists' Guideline Recommendations for Immunohistochemical Testing of Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors in Breast Cancer.
Expression of the hormone receptors (estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR)) as well as overexpression / amplification of the human epi-dermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) have not only been identified as important prognostic factors among patients with breast cancer. They have also been characterized as essential predictive factors for benefit derivable from endocrine treatme...

We studied the impact of 96 hours of formalin fixation on estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and HER2 testing by comparing immunohistochemical results from core biopsy specimens fixed under current American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines with results for corresponding resection samples fixed for 96 hours. Samples enriched w...
