1 Breast cancer diagnostic solutions Deliver diagnostic confidence

2 2 Breast cancer diagnostic solutions Roche Tissue Diagnostics is committed to improving outcomes in breast cancer Breast cancer...the most common cancer type and cause of cancer-related deaths in women 1...annually claims more than 500,000 lives worldwide 1...in the US, 1 out of 8 women will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifespan 2 Breast cancer remains a significant scientific, clinical and societal challenge. Everyone s cancer diagnosis is as distinct as the person it affects. Breast cancer is heterogeneous in nature and has distinct biological, pathological and genetic diversity. Biomarkers can help identify patient subgroups most likely to benefit from a specific treatment. Diagnostic and prognostic descriptions of subtypes, guided by biomarker results, have become increasingly more sophisticated over the past decades.

3 Breast cancer diagnostic solutions 3 Precision medicine: The right test at the right time facilitates differential diagnosis Evidence supports that breast cancer tumors can be grouped into subtypes with distinct clinical profiles and treatment options. 3 Understanding the diversity in breast cancer allows for stratification of patient subgroups. Individual biomarkers (or panels of biomarkers) characterize subtypes, confirm origin of tissue, differentiate primary from metastatic tumor and provide prognostic and predictive information. 4 Biomarkers play an important role in the detection and management of patients 5 Biomarkers are the most precise way of identifying intrinsic subtypes 6 Failure to correctly stratify a patient can lead to unnecessary and costly exposure to therapeutics, prevent the delivery of the most beneficial treatment and may reduce the degree of positive outcomes 7,8,9 Three reasons to choose Roche Tissue Diagnostic s Solutions Our breast cancer diagnostics deliver on three key benefits that are valued by pathology professionals: 1. Clinical utility With proven accuracy 15,21 our breast cancer diagnostic assays help you identify patients other assays can miss 7,9,16,17 so you can deliver the right test, with clinical confidence in the shortest possible time. Our mission is to improve the lives of all patients afflicted with cancer. We are committed to empowering you in your quest to elevate the standard of care. 2. Analytical performance Specific and sensitive rabbit monoclonal antibodies, bestin-class probes, and powerful detection systems help you diagnose precisely and confidently. 3. Testing efficiency Our comprehensive breast cancer workflow solution delivers fully automated assays on market-leading platforms, with digital pathology and workflow solutions that free resources, reduce labor costs, and reduce time to results.

4 4 Breast cancer diagnostic solutions Biomarker status helps to identify patient groups most likely to respond to a specific treatment HER2 overexpression accounts for 15% to 20% of all breast cancers. Tumors that overexpress the HER2 gene are associated with more rapid growth compared to HER2 negative tumors. 6,10,12 Estrogen Receptor (ER) and Progesterone Receptor (PR) positive tumors account for approximately 74% of all breast cancer tumors. Dual positive hormone receptor tumors are usually slow growing and less aggressive. 5 Luminal A tumors have favorable short-term prognosis and show favorable response to hormonal therapy. 5 Luminal B tends to be more aggressive and higher grade than Luminal A. 5 In early breast cancer, moderate to strong PR expression is an aid to differentiate between Luminal A and B tumors. 12 Classifications of IHC subtypes: St. Gallen Consensus 12 Erb-B2 overexpression (non-luminal) Luminal A Luminal B (Her2 +) Luminal B (Her2 -) Basel like (Ductal, TN) HER2 + Overexpressed or amplified ER PR - + Any Negative or low - Ki-67 Low Any High Key + positive - negative This chart is not for diagnostic use. It represents staining patterns that are associated with breast cancers based on St. Gallen Expert Consensus, TN triple negative

5 Breast cancer diagnostic solutions 5 Pathology assessments play a critical role in breast cancer management Breast cancer management is complex and biomarkers play an integral role in determining the status of the tumor. IHC and ISH biomarkers help facilitate decision-making for subsequent therapeutic options. 3,6,10 The benefit of chemotherapy is dependant on multiple factors: Tumor size, lymph node involvement and the presence of biomarkers. 5 Multiple tests used to determine treatment 11 HER2 status Treatment decision Hormone receptor status HER2+ Hormone therapy * and targeted therapy ER+ and/or PR+ HER2- HER2- Hormone therapy * Breast cancer histology HER2+ Targeted therapy* ER- and/or PR- Non-targeted therapy* Source: Diagram is developed based on NCCN Guideline for Invasive Breast Cancer 11 * Targeted therapy can include chemotherapy with trastuzumab for HER2 positive patients, hormone therapy is for ER and/or PR positive patients, non-targeted therapy refers to chemotherapy for patients with triple negative status.

7 7 Breast cancer diagnostic solutions In a recent publication7 assessing the socioeconomic impact of inaccurate HER2 breast cancer testing, laboratory-developed in vitro diagnostic (IVD) were compared to U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved IVD, found a cost benefit in using an approved IVD test. Breast carcinoma HER2 (4B5) positive, Score: 3+ Magnification: 40X HER2/neu (4B5)* Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody The use of pre-dilutedpathway HER2 (4B5),14 in combination with the fully automated BenchMark IHC/ISH slide staining instrument, standardizes all IHC processes from baking through staining, and reduces the possibility of human error. It also minimizes inherent variability resulting from individual reagent dilution and other processes found in manual and semi-automated IHC methods. The PATHWAY HER2 (4B5) Primary Antibody empowers you to: Achieve consistently high proficiency assessment scores with HER2 (4B5) antibody, compared to other clones15 Employ the most widely adopted and reliable HER2-IHC primary antibody15 High concordance with HER2 FISH16,17 Proportion of sufficient stains (optimal or good) HER2 (4B5): Consistent high performance* competitor 1 concentrate competitor 1 ready-to-use competitor 2 ready-to-use HER2 4B5* (pre-dilute) Assessments *Data refers to PATHWAY and VENTANA products.

9 Breast cancer diagnostic solutions 9 Supporting breast cancer diagnostics Breast carcinoma Ki-67 (30-9) stained Magnification: Low Breast carcinoma E-cadherin (36) stained Magnification: 40X CONFIRM anti-ki-67 (30-9) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody CONFIRM Ki-67 (30-9) Antibody is directed against C-terminal portion of Ki-67 antigen. Staining for Ki-67 can be used to aid in assessing the proliferative activity of normal and neoplastic tissue. With intense nuclear staining and no adipose (K2) or cell membrane staining (MIB-1), CONFIRM Ki-67 (30-9) rabbit monoclonal antibody can help deliver a confident assessment of tumor aggressiveness. 22,23 Uncontrolled proliferation is a hallmark of malignancy. The 2013, St Gallen Expert Concensus 12 found that the degree of proliferative activity in breast cancer helped differentiate Luminal A from Luminal B tumors. VENTANA anti-e-cadherin (36) Mouse Monoclonal Primary Antibody Ventana E-cadherin (36) antibody is directed against the cytoplasmic domain of the human transmembrane protein E-cadherin expressed as a part of the cell-cell adhesion complex in epithelial tissues. 24 Reduction or loss of expression is associated with invasive carcinoma and possibly metastasis in a variety of carcinomas. This antibody may be used to aid in the differentiation of in-situ and/or invasive lobular carcinoma from in situ and/or invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast. CONFIRM p53 (DO-7) Primary Antibody CONFIRM p53 (DO-7) is used in conjunction with VENTANA Companion Algorithm p53 (DO-7) image analysis application using the VENTANA iscan Coreo Au scanner and VIRTUOSO software. 25 GATA3 (L50-823) Mouse Monoclonal Primary Antibody Use of this antibody is indicated as an aid in the identification of breast carcinomas within the context of an antibody panel, clinical history and a qualified pathologist. 26 GATA3 expression is primarily seen in breast carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma and only rarely found in tumors from other organs. 26 Mammaglobin (31A5) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody Use of this antibody is indicated as an aid in the identification of metastatic breast carcinomas within the context of an antibody panel, clinical history and a qualified pathologist. 27 When combined with other breast-restricted markers such as GCDFP-15, an overall sensitivity for breast carcinoma of 84% has been achieved. 27
