Table 1 Central pathologist agreement across HER2 IHC scores for breast cancer samples, used to establish consensus

From: Accuracy of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) immunohistochemistry scoring by pathologists in breast cancer, including the HER2-low cutoff

  1. HER2: human epidermal growth factor receptor 2; IHC: immunohistochemistry
  2. a Percentage is calculated based on all samples (N = 500)
  3. b Bolded data encompass all 500 samples
  4. c Samples with no agreement cannot be categorized according to IHC score or evaluable/non-evaluable results; therefore, data are shown spanning all possible scores
