Abstract

PURPOSE: According to the updated classification system, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression statuses are divided into the following three groups: HER2-over-expression, HER2-low-expression, and HER2-zero-expression. HER2-negative expression was reclassified into HER2-low-expression and HER2-zero-expression. This study aimed to identify three different HER2 expression statuses for breast cancer (BC) patients using PET/CT radiomics and clinicopathological characteristics.
