Background: In the DESTINY-B04 trial, patients with pretreated HER2 low metastatic breast cancer (defined as immunohistochemistry score of 1+ or 2+ and negative in situ hybridization) had significant survival improvement with Trastuzumab therapy.
Methods: The goal of our study was to compare the HER2 immunohistochemistry scores of paired primary and metastatic breast cancer, with emphasis on HER2 low criteria and its implications for detailed immunohistochemistry interpretation. Using the pathology database from 2011, we identified 272 cases of primary breast cancers with paired metastases.

Background: During tumor progression, HER2 expression undergoes dynamic changes. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can be used to monitor HER2 expression in real-time and hold potential for clinical application. This study aimed to evaluate the consistency of HER2 expression between primary tumors and CTCs in patients with breast cancer (BC).

Department of Pathology, Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, Buffalo, New York, USA.
Aims: To evaluate the evolution when breast cancer (BC) is classified as three clinical profiles and five clinical profiles by incorporating human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-low to the biomarkers' profile.
Methods And Results: BC with distant metastasis that has document hormonal receptors (HR) (positive, negative) and HER2 (positive, low, zero) results were included (n = 161). Cases were categorised into three clinical profiles (HR-positive/HER2-negative, HER2-positive and TNBC) and five (HR-positive/HER2-zero, HR-positive/HER2-low, HR-negative/HER2-zero, HR-negative/HER2-low, HR-positive or negative/HER2-positive).

Department of General and Clinical Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Medical University of Plovdiv, Bul. Vasil Aprilov 15A, 4000 Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
Background: This study aims to deliver more insights on the impact of neoadjuvant treatment on Pd-L1 expression and to evaluate its correlation with clinicopathological factors.
Methods: We reviewed 88 TNBC cases for the period 2021-2023. Data on age, tumor size, stage, and treatment were collected.

Department of Breast Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Breast cancer is a complex disease encompassing multiple phenotypic and genetic subtypes. The biomarker status of primary and recurrent lesions may be dissimilar, and changes in biomarker status may inform clinical decision-making. The expression of biomarkers between primary breast cancers and loco-regional recurrences lacked large sample studies.
