HER2 test deviations were found in 90 (22.3%) of 404 cases (central versus local testing) and were associated with negative impact on survival for trastuzumab-treated patients. Here, we investigated methodological and biological variables that may promote deviating HER2 test results.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n Methods<\/jats:title>\n We analyzed HER2 testing procedures and participation in quality assurance programs of 105\u00a0participating local pathology laboratories. Furthermore, tumor localization and histological subtypes were compared between patients with centrally confirmed (central\u00a0HER2\u2009+\u2009\/local\u00a0HER2\u2009+\u2009, n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200968) and unconfirmed HER2 status (central\u00a0HER2\u00a0\u2212\/local\u00a0HER2\u2009+\u2009, n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200968).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n Results<\/jats:title>\n For central HER2 testing, concordance between in situ hybridization (ISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) was 98.3%, with IHC sensitivity of 93.3% (84 IHC\u2009+\u2009of 90 ISH\u2009+), specificity of 99.5% (389 IHC- of 391 ISH-), and a positive diagnosis rate of 97.7%. Central confirmation of the local HER2 IHC scores were seen for the majority of locally HER2- IHC 0\/1 (172\/178; 96.6%), but less frequently for locally IHC3\u2009+\u2009(57\/124; 46.0%) cases. Deviation rate was not associated with IHC antibody platform used in the local pathology institute neither with participation in quality-assuring tests. Regarding tumor characteristics, deviating test results were more frequently found in GC vs. EGJC (69.1% vs. 39.7%; p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001) and in Laur\u00e9n diffuse vs. intestinal subtype (23.5%\u00a0vs. 5.9%, p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.004).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Tumor localization and histological subtype have an impact on HER2 test deviation rates.
