Description
HER2 in situ hybridization (ISH) Summary is the summary score for results of testing for ERBB2 gene copy number by any ISH method. An immunohistochemistry (IHC) test identifies the protein expressed by the gene (ERBB2), and an ISH test identifies the number of copies of the gene (ERBB2) itself.
Rationale
HER2 ISH Summary is a Registry Data Collection Variable in AJCC. It is a new data item for cases diagnosed 1/1/2018+.
