  19. HER2 testing in gastric cancer:best practice

  20. All stomach or GE junction tumour samples should be accurately tested for HER2 status HER2 status should be assessed routinely by primary IHC1 Patients whose tumours score IHC 3+ are eligible for trastuzumab Samples with an equivocal IHC 2+ score should be retested using ISH to confirm HER2 positivity Patients whose tumours score IHC 2+/FISH+ are eligible for trastuzumab HER2 testing should be performed by laboratories with demonstrated proficiency HER2 testing in gastric cancer 1. Hofmann M, et al. Histopathology 2008; 52:797–805.

  21. Unresectable gastric or GE junction cancer Surgical specimens or biopsy samples are acceptable for HER2 testing Initial tissue processing Transport tissue to laboratory promptly(within 20–30 min) Specimen is inked, cut and fixed in the laboratory Tissue collection

  22. Tissue fixation • Poor tissue fixation is the most common source of error in HER2 testing • Place tissue in fixative as soon as possible (within 20 min) • Duration of fixation • Surgically excised samples: 6–48 h (but at least 1 h/1 mm tissue) • Biopsy samples: no longer than 24 h (but at least 1 h/1 mm tissue) • Type of fixative • 10% neutral-buffered formalin is preferred • Fresh formalin (replace formalin regularly) • Other fixatives must be validated to obtain reliable results • IHC and ISH testing can be hampered by the use ofnon-formalin fixatives

  23. IHC/ISH testing Immunohistochemistry • HercepTest™ (Dako) • CONFIRM™ anti-HER2/neu (4B5, Ventana) In-situ hybridisation • HER2 FISH pharmDx™ (Dako) • INFORM™ HER2 SISH (Ventana) The following assays can be utilised, provided that the modified IHC scoring system according to Hofmann et al 20081 is strictly adhered to:

  24. Tissue samples are dehydrated in an ethanol/ xylene series and embedded in paraffin Prolonged incubation in molten paraffin should be avoided as high temperatures may degrade epitope Paraffin-embedded samples can be stored indefinitely prior to sectioning Use fresh paraffin Minimum size of paraffin block should be 1 cm2 to enable proper sectioning Paraffin embedding

  25. Sectioning Ideally, sections should be cut from the tissue block immediately prior to HER2 testing Sections must be cut from a representative area of the tumour Thickness of tissue sections can affect interpretation of results; ensure sections are cut to 2–4 μm Sections are mounted on slides and dried for 12–24 h at room temperature or 1 h at 60°C Dewaxing Ensure complete removal of paraffin; residual paraffin will cause false-negative assays and increase non-specific staining Sectioning and dewaxing

  26. IHC scoring criteria for gastric cancer IHC negative (0) No staining or membrane staining in <10% of cells IHC negative (1+) Faint/barely perceptible membrane staining in >10% of cells; cells only stained in part of membrane • IHC equivocal (2+) • Weak to moderate complete, basolateralor lateral • membrane staining in >10% of cells • Cohesive IHC2+ clones irrespective of size (>5 cells) • IHC positive (3+) • Strong complete, basolateral or lateralmembrane staining in >10% of cells in resection specimens or • Cohesive IHC 3+ clones irrespective of size in biopsy samples (>5 cells) Images courtesy of TARGOS

  27. Staining intensity & optical illusion

  28. Edge crushing artefacts Within tumour tissue Intestinal metaplasia, regenerative changes (near ulcerations) Within non-tumour tissue IHC: sample exclusion criteria HER2 IHC stained biopsy/surgical specimen Exclude poorly preserved tumour tissue Exclude non-specific staining Cytoplasmic, nuclear, only basal or luminal portion
