Abstract 790P

Background

HER2 is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor, mediating cell proliferation and apoptosis inhibition. In breast and gastric tumors, HER2 -overexpression (HER2-OE) assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a validated prognostic and predictive biomarker with well-established scoring guidelines. However, its significance in GTs remains unclear, lacking no specific guidelines.

Methods

To establish prevalence of HER2-OE in GTs, archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor blocks from patients diagnosed at our academic institution were analyzed during 2023-2024. Tumor samples were stained using a validated HER2 monoplex-IHC panel (anti-HER2/neu 4B5 Rabbit monoclonal antibody) using Ventana system. HER2-OE was firstly scored using Breast Cancer ASCO-CAP (BCG) and subsequently ASCO-CAP-ASCP Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma (GEG) Guidelines. Concordance rates (CR) between both methods were calculated. HER2-OE scores were correlated with tumor molecular profiles.

Results

A total of 324 GTs were evaluated including 194 epithelial ovarian (OC), 80 endometrial (EC) and 31 cervical cancers (CC). Percentage of HER2-OE scores by BGC: 0, +1, +2, and +3 were 58%, 29%, 11% and 2%, respectively in all GTs. In OC: 56%, 30%, 12% and 2%. In EC: 51%, 34%, 13% and 2%. And, in CC: 65%, 19%, 9.7% and 6.3%. Percentage of HER2-OE scores by GEG: 0, +1, +2, +3 were 56%, 28%, 14% and 2%, respectively in all GTs. In OC: 55%, 29%, 14%, and 2%. In EC: 51%, 30%, 15% and 4%. And in CC, 55%, 26%, 13%, and 6%. Overall CR between BCG and GEG was 89.78%. CR in OC, EC an CC was: 92.78%, 85% and 80.65%, respectively. HER2-OE according to tumor molecular features are shown in the table. Table: 790P

Conclusions

HER2-OE was relatively low across GTs, though certain histotypes and molecular features (HRD negative OCs, p53 abnormal EC and adenocarcinomas/CPS<1% CC) exhibited higher scores. The high CR suggests either scoring guideline may be suitable for GTs. HER2-OE's predictive/prognostic value in GTs requires further evaluation.
