Those with IHC scores of 2+ would be further tested to ultimately determine HER2 status. 2 An IHC score shapes a patient’s entire course of treatment so it’s critical for patients to know ...

-- a pun on hairs. But splitting is because the new drugs, the ADC [antibody-drug conjugate] trastuzumab deruxtecan [Enhertu], is indicated for patients that have HER2 1+ or 2+ IHC, but not HER2 0.

Approximately 70% of diagnosed cases are considered what has been historically called HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer (measured as HER2 score of IHC 0, IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH-). 3 Endocrine ...
