Most metastatic breast cancer tissue specimens tested for HER2 overexpression are scored with either 0 or 3+ staining intensity. While the majority of cases are clear-cut, a small percentage of the remaining 1+ and 2+ scored samples may be more difficult to interpret. In this manual we will focus on these equivocal samples. In addition, we will review images of sample artifacts and discuss how to best interpret such cases.
