Popis: 515Background: ASCO-CAP recently recommended further changes to evaluation of HER2 gene amplification by FISH. We retrospectively assessed the impact of the guidelines using annotated BCIRG-005, BCIRG-006, and BCIRG-007 clinical trial data for which we have detailed outcomes. Methods: HER2 FISH status of BCIRG-005/006/007 breast cancers was re-evaluated according to 2013/2014 ASCO-CAP guidelines, which designate five different groups according to HER2 FISH ratio and average HER2 gene copy number per tumor cell; group 1 (“ISH-positive”): HER2-to-CEP17 ratio ≥2.0, average HER2 copies ≥4.0; group2 (“ISH-positive”): ratio ≥2.0, copies
