HER2 protein is over-expressed in 15-30% of breast carcinomas. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a common and inexpensive method able to specifically detect HER2 protein. However, lack of standardization of IHC has been considered responsible for discrepancies in HER2 status assessment performed by IHC and fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH). This prompted us to perform a multicentric IHC calibration test to achieve a maximum accuracy of HER2-IHC compared with HER2-FISH taken as the reference method.
