Oncology Brothers: Practice-Changing Cancer Discussions

Pre-analytical phase challenges and biomarker testing in HER2+ metastatic breast cancer


Listen Later

In this episode of the Oncology Brothers podcast, we were joined by two international experts — Professor Gary Tse, a pathologist from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Dr. Carlos Barrios, a medical oncologist from Brazil — to unpack the evolving landscape of HER2 testing in breast cancer. What was once a binary positive or negative classification has now expanded to include HER2-low and HER2-ultra-low, opening the door to new treatment options for the majority of breast cancer patients.

    • Pre-analytical challenges in metastatic settings including tumor heterogeneity
    • The role of IHC, ISH, NGS, and liquid biopsy in HER2 assessment, and how each tool fits into clinical practice.
    • The importance of multidisciplinary collaboration between pathologists and oncologists to ensure accurate interpretation and optimal treatment selection.
