Course Description

Best Practices in HER2-low and HER2-ultralow Advanced Breast Cancer: IHC Testing and Interpretation 

Activity Description: 

This case-based activity is designed to help pathologists and laboratory professionals increase their knowledge, skills, and competence in applying practice-changing updates regarding HER2-low and HER2-ultralow advanced breast cancer. Through three case-based microlearning activities, learners will answer questions designed to help them carefully consider the nuances of HER2-low and HER2-ultralow breast cancer diagnosis. This is the first of the three activities and focuses on HER2 classification, tracking and reporting considerations and HER2 IHC testing and interpretation in HER2-low breast cancers. 

 

Course topics include:  

  • HER2 immunohistochemistry

  • Impact of pre-analytical variables on HER2 immunohistochemistry 

  • CAP/ASCO 2023 HER2 immunohistochemistry guidelines 


Target Audience
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of pathologists and laboratory professionals.
