HER2-low and Overexpression in Mucinous Ovarian Cancer: Analysis of ASCO/CAP and ToGA Immunohistochemical Scoring.
Mucinous ovarian carcinoma is an uncommon malignancy characterized by resistance to chemotherapy and poor survival in the metastatic setting. HER2 amplification is a frequent late event in carcinogenesis, yet the incidence of HER2-low in mucinous ovarian carcinoma is unknown. Further, the optimal method for determining overexpression in these tumors is not established. We sought to assess the ASCO/CAP and ToGA trial scoring methods for HER2 IHC with correlation to FISH, p53, and mismatch repair protein status and to determine the incidence of HER2-low in mucinous ovarian carcinoma. A total of 29 tumors from 23 patients were included. Immunohistochemistry for HER2, p53, MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, and MSH6 was performed. Scoring was performed according to the ASCO/CAP and ToGA trial criteria. HER2 FISH was performed and scored according to the ASCO/CAP criteria. The proportion of HER2-low, defined as 1+ or 2+ staining with negative FISH, was determined. Using ASCO/CAP, 26% demonstrated 3+ while 35% demonstrated 2+ staining. Using ToGA, 30% demonstrated 3+ while 57% demonstrated 2+ staining. By FISH, 26% were positive for HER2 amplification. Both systems captured all FISH-positive cases; the use of ASCO/CAP resulted in fewer equivocal and false-positive cases. Among HER2-negative cases, 88% were HER2-low. Aberrant p53 expression was detected in 55% of cases; mismatch repair deficiency was not identified in any cases. ASCO/CAP guidelines are accurate and resource-effective in determining HER2 overexpression in mucinous ovarian carcinoma. HER2-low is common in these tumors; further studies to determine the role of HER2-targeted therapy including antibody-drug conjugates are indicated.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Gynecological Pathology is the official journal of the International Society of Gynecological Pathologists (ISGyP), and provides complete and timely coverage of advances in the understanding and management of gynecological disease. Emphasis is placed on investigations in the field of anatomic pathology. Articles devoted to experimental or animal pathology clearly relevant to an understanding of human disease are published, as are pathological and clinicopathological studies and individual case reports that offer new insights.
