Accurate quantification of slide-level HER2 scores in breast cancer using a machine-learning model, AIM-HER2 Breast Cancer

San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium | San Antonio, TX

Study Background

HER2 expression level is a key factor in determining the optimal treatment course for breast cancer patients. Roughly 15% of breast cancers are HER2+, and determination of HER2 status is routinely assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Accurate assessment of the HER2 IHC score (0, 1+, 2+, 3+) by pathologists is therefore critical, especially in light of novel therapeutic approaches demonstrating efficacy in the HER2-low setting (IHC scores 1+, and 2+/FISH-)1,2.

To assist pathologists with the consistent provision of reproducible and accurate scores across the entire HER2 scoring range, we developed a machine-learning algorithm (“AIM-HER2”) to generate accurate, slide-level HER2 scores aligned with ASCO-CAP guidelines in clinical breast cancer HER2 IHC specimens.
