This multinational study demonstrates that Al-assisted HER2 IHC interpretation improves pathologist accuracy, reproducibility, and efficiency.

‍

Integrating Al-assisted HER2 interpretation into pathology workflows can thus substantially enhance diagnostic precision.

‍

Particularly in the clinically challenging HER2 low and ultralow categories, Al may improve personalized treatment decision making for HER2-targeted therapies.

Enhancing HER2 IHC Interpretation in Breast Cancer with AI Assistance: Focus on Ultralow Expression in a Multicenter Study across Asia

Emerging therapies for HER2-low and -ultralow breast cancer emphasize the need for precise and consistent HER2 IHC scoring. However, interpretation remains challenging due to staining variability and subjective thresholds. AI tools may improve diagnostic accuracy and reproducibility, yet real-world data across multiple centers - especially for HER2-ultralow expression - to date is sparse.
