Abstract
For the past 2 decades, pathologists have been accustomed to reporting the HER2 status of breast cancer as either positive or negative, based on HER2 IHC. Today, however, there is a clinical imperative to employ a 3-tier approach to interpreting HER2 IHC that can also identify tumours categorised as HER2-low. Meeting this need for a finer degree of discrimination may be challenging, and in this article, we consider the potential for the integration of computational approaches to support pathologists in achieving accurate and reproducible HER2 IHC scoring as well as outlining some of the practicalities involved.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Pathology Informatics (JPI) is an open access peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the advancement of pathology informatics. This is the official journal of the Association for Pathology Informatics (API). The journal aims to publish broadly about pathology informatics and freely disseminate all articles worldwide. This journal is of interest to pathologists, informaticians, academics, researchers, health IT specialists, information officers, IT staff, vendors, and anyone with an interest in informatics. We encourage submissions from anyone with an interest in the field of pathology informatics. We publish all types of papers related to pathology informatics including original research articles, technical notes, reviews, viewpoints, commentaries, editorials, symposia, meeting abstracts, book reviews, and correspondence to the editors. All submissions are subject to rigorous peer review by the well-regarded editorial board and by expert referees in appropriate specialties.
