Abstract

BACKGROUND: With the development of novel anti-HER2 targeted drugs, such as ADCs, it has become increasingly important to accurately interpret HER2 expression in breast cancer. Previous studies have demonstrated high intra-observer and inter-observer variabilities in evaluating HER2 staining by human eyes. There exists a strong requirement to develop artificial intelligence (AI) systems to achieve high-precision HER2 expression scoring for better clinical therapy.
