Breast Cancer & Immunohistochemistry (IHC) n n n Determining breast tumor markers (ER, PR Breast Cancer & Immunohistochemistry (IHC) n n n Determining breast tumor markers (ER, PR & HER-2/neu) for prognostic & predictive purposes by IHC &/or FISH is the standard of practice. IHC score/quantification by manual microscopy is currently accepted as the traditional gold standard. Surgical Pathology workflow involves: • • • n n Pre-analytic preparation (e. g. tissue fixation & processing) Analysis (i. e. staining of controls & patient slides) Post-analytical component (e. g. quantification & reporting) Discrepancies between HER 2 IHC & FISH mainly reflect errors in manual interpretation & not reagent limitations (Bloom & Harrington. AJCP 2004; 121: 620 -30). Inter- & intra-observer differences in scoring occur: • Most notably with borderline & weakly stained cases • Related to fatigue & subjectivity of human observers

Accuracy is Required n n n Accuracy = the amount by which a measured Accuracy is Required n n n Accuracy = the amount by which a measured value adheres to a standard. The need for precise ER, PR & HER 2/neu status in breast cancer is required to ensure appropriate therapeutic intervention. Lay press have communicated concerns over inaccuracies in breast biomarker testing. Threat of having to refer such testing to reference laboratories. Is computer assisted image analysis (CAIA) a better (i. e. more accurate & reproducible) method for scoring IHC?

Guidelines n ASCO/CAP Guideline Recommendations for HER 2/neu testing in breast cancer (Wolff et Guidelines n ASCO/CAP Guideline Recommendations for HER 2/neu testing in breast cancer (Wolff et al. Arch Pathol Lab Med 2007; 131: 18) • Image analysis can be an effective tool for achieving consistent interpretation • A pathologist must confirm the image analysis result • Image analysis equipment (including optical microscopes) must be calibrated, subjected to regular maintenance & internal QC evaluation • Image analysis procedures must be validated n Canadian National Consensus Meeting on HER 2/neu testing in breast cancer (Hanna et al. Current Oncology 2007; 14: 149 -53) • Use of image analysis systems can be useful to enhance reproducibility of scoring • Pathologists must supervise all image analyses n FDA clearance for CAIA in vitro diagnostic use of HER-2/neu, ER, and PR IHC has been obtained by several companies

CAIA vs. Manual Score Remmele & Schicketanz. Pathol Res Pract 1993; 189: 862 -6 CAIA vs. Manual Score Remmele & Schicketanz. Pathol Res Pract 1993; 189: 862 -6 “Subjective grading of slides is a simple, rapid and useful method for the determination of tissue receptor content and must not be replaced by expensive and time-consuming computer-assisted image analysis in daily practice. ”

Data on CAIA & IHC n n Early studies showed CAIA was no better Data on CAIA & IHC n n Early studies showed CAIA was no better than visual analysis (Schultz et al. Anal Quant Cytol Histol 1992; 14: 35 -40) Few studies have shown that manual & CAIA are comparable (Diaz et al. Ann Diagn Pathol 2004; 8: 23 -7) n Most studies found CAIA to be superior to manual methods (Taylor & Levenson. Histopathology 2006; 49: : 411 -24; Mc. Clelland et al. Cancer Res 1990; 50: 3545 -50; Kohlberger et al. Anticancer Res 1999; 19: 2189 -93; Wang et al. Am J Clin Pathol 2001; 116: 495 -503; Turner et al. USCAP 2008 abstract 1694). • • • n Provides effective qualitative & quantitative evaluation More consistent than manual & digital microscopy More precise (scan per scan) than pathologists One study showed agreement between different CAIA systems: Chroma Vision ACIS & Applied Imaging Ariol SL-50 (Gokhale et al. Appl Immunohistochem Mol Morphol 2007; 15: 451 -5)

Published Considerations n n n n Expense of CAIA may be hard to justify Published Considerations n n n n Expense of CAIA may be hard to justify where volumes are low Image analysis frequently requires interactive input by the pathologist Increased time requirements Systems may be discrepant when tumor cells have low levels of staining Interfering non-specific staining within selected areas Images must be free from artifacts Small amounts of stained tissue can erroneously generate lower scores
