3 Gene. ERBB2 Official full name: v-erb-b2 avian erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog 2 [human] Location: 17q12 This gene encodes a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family of receptor tyrosine kinases
4 Protein. HER2 Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 A protein encoded by the ERBB2 gene Also known as Neu, ErbB-2, CD340 or p185 Normally expressed on the cell surface in a variety of tissue types including breast and gastric epithelium Amplification or over-expression: aggressive types of breast cancer, target of therapy, 30% of breast cancer patients
5 HER2 signaling No ligand binding domain of its own (cannot bind growth factors) Bind tightly to itself and to other ligand-bound EGF receptor family members to form homodimers and heterodimers HER2-HER3 heterodimer: the most active HER signaling dimer Downstream proteins activates cell proliferation and migration Ras/Raf/MAPK PI3K/AKT/mTOR

11 Patients outcome (II) Between 1991 and studies (1413 patients): association between HER2 overexpression and worse OS 4 studies (1037 patients): no association From 2009 to the present 11 studies (5869 patients): does not impact the prognosis 6 studies (3199 patients): poor prognostic factor Crit Rev Oncol Hemtol 2013;85:350

22 ASCO/CAP 2013 recommendations for breast cancer Begin fixation process quickly (time to fixative within 1 hour) Duration of fixation: 6-72 hours in 10% NBF, cytology specimens must be fixed in formalin Gross specimens should be sliced at 5-10 mm intervals. Sections should not be used if cut > 6 weeks earlier (this may vary with primary fixation or storage conditions). Tests should be performed according to standardized analytically validated protocols. Initial test validation/ monitoring of test concordance between methods/ internal and external QA Oct 17, 2013 online and Arch Pathol Lab Med
23 Unique features of HER2 testing in gastric cancer High incidence of tumor heterogeneity Bright-field methodologies are preferred. Screening by immunostaining before ISH <10% positivity should repeat on a different paraffin block if still inconclusive, ISH test should be performed Should perform on both primary and distant metastatic sites Gland-forming intestinal type incomplete, basolateral, or lateral staining + complete membrane staining Applying the breast cancer testing principles and scoring criteria results in underscoring (false negatives in about 50%)
24 Practical guidance on HER2 testing in gastric cancer Preanalytic Specimen type Fixation Tissue processing Tissue sectioning Analytic Assays Control selection Quality assurance Postanalytic Interpretation of results Reporting of results Pathologist Ruschoff et al. Mod Pathol 2012;25: Kim et al. Asia Pac J Clin Oncol. 2014;10:
25 PREANALYTIC Specimen type Surgical resection and biopsies are both accepted Biopsy: better fiixation, but ideally need 6-8 pieces due to heterogeneity Task Force 4-6 pieces acceptable Tissue microarrays: not recommended Second biopsy at metastasis Fixation 10% neutral buffered formalin Preanalytic cold ischemic time: within 20 min of biopsy, within 1 hour of resection, but recommend each laboratory to validate it) Fixation time: 8~72 hours Sections ~4 um or less should be immediately before testing
26 ANALYTIC Validated, commercially available methodologies are recommended for accurate and reliable results Ventana PATHWAY (4B5 clone) DAKO HercepTest Antigen retrieval Automated, temperature-controlled method Controls Both no staining and strong staining (if possible, equivocal) Similar fixation, processing, and paraffin embeddeing technique to the test samples Tissue microarrays
27 Quality Assurance Initial test validation: The initial cases should be analyzed in parallel using both IHC and ISH. The concordance rate should be >90% (equivocal 제외시 ) Validate independently of breast cancer protocols Personnel should be specifically trained in HER2 testing methods and interpretation for gastric cancer. Monitoring of test concordance between methods, positivity rates, and scoring distributions Internal QA program and external proficiency assessment
28 POSTANALYTIC Assessment of HER2 IHC staining Should interpret an INVASIVE AREA of the carcinoma According to IHC scoring system for GASTRIC CANCER Assessment of HER2 gene amplification Selecting assessment area by H&E (intestinal type) and IHC (2+ or 3+) staining 20 adjacent or continuous cells HER2:CEP17 ratio count another 20 cells or score in an alternative area of tissue Report HER2-negative vs. HER2-positive (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/amplification)
29 HER2 scoring criteria in gastric cancer A cluster of at least 5 positive stained tumor cells
30 Magnification rule IHC 3+ : any membranous staining visible at low magnification. Lateral- or U- shaped membranous staining. IHC 2+ : membranous staining is visible at magnification. Need FISH or SISH. IHC 1+ : visible only with 40 magnification. HER2- negative. Mod Pathol 2012;25:637-50
