[Histonet] ER/PR and Her2 image analysis

[Mark Tarango]

Hi Cheryl,

We use the Aperio system for HER2 scoring.  Our lab manager put a cytotech
in charge of validating the digital reading and her next project is ER and
PR.  For HER2 IHC, the software is initially set for Dako's Hercept test.
 We don't use Dako, we use Ventana staining platform and the 4B5 clone for
HER2 IHC.  She had to play with the software until it was scoring
cases appropriately, but it works great now.

The initial slide scanner we got from them was a lemon.  They sent another
and it was a lemon too.  The third instrument (which is a newer model)
usually works without any problems.

The system helps with FISH too.  The pathologist can mark the area of
interest for FISH on the digital slide image.  This is great for my lab
because we have pathologists that are not here at our main lab site.  This
allows me to mark the area and start FISH even though the IHC or H&E might
be off-site.
