HER2 ISH Dual Probe Ratio
Notes
**Note 1:** This SSDI is no longer required by any of the standard setters starting with 2021 diagnoses. * For cases diagnosed 2021+, this SSDI may be left blank **Note 2:** Physician statement of HER2 in situ hybridization (ISH) Dual Probe Ratio can be used to code this data item. **Note 3:** A dual probe test will report results for both HER2 and CEP17, the latter used as a control. The HER2/CEP17 ratio will be reported. Record the ratio in this data item. * ***Example:*** SISH RESULTS: FINAL HER 2 IN SITU HYBRIDIZATION INTERPRETATION: EQUIVOCAL, INDETERMINATE. HER2 gene copy between 4 & 6 with HER2/CEP17 ratio <2. HER2/CEP17 RATIO: 4.26 / 3.13 = 1.36 HER-2/neu SILVER IN SITU HYBRIDIZATION (SISH) HER-2neu gene (Inform HER2 DNA probe) Number of tumor cell nuclei counted: 120 Number of Her-2/neu gene copies: 511 Mean HER-2/neu gene copy number: 4.26 CEP-17 SILVER IN SITU HYBRIDIZATION (SISH) CEP-17 (Inform Chromosome 17 probe) Number of cell nuclei counted: 60 Number of CEP-17 gene copies: 188 Mean CEP-17 gene copies/nucl: 3.13 Code Dual Probe HER2 Copy Number: 4.2 Code Dual Probe Ratio: 1.3 **Note 4:** **Registrars are not to calculate the ratio.** **Note 5:** Following ASCO-CAP guidelines, a 2+ (equivocal) finding by immunohistochemistry (IHC) should result in additional testing with ISH to determine gene copy number. **Note 6:** Any type of ISH test (e.g., FISH, CISH, SISH) can be used to code this data item. Code this data item using the same report used to record 3854: HER2 ISH Summary. **Note 7:** A HER2 ISH test may be called "ERBB2." ERBB2 is the standard symbol for the gene 'erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2.' An IHC test identifies the protein expressed by the gene, and an ISH test identifies the gene itself. **Note 8:** If the test results are presented to the hundredth decimal, ignore the hundredth decimal. Do NOT round. * ***Example:*** Reported as 1.99, code as 1.9Code | Description |
---|---|
0.0-99.9 | Ratio of 0.0 to 99.9 |
XX.2 | Less than 2.0 |
XX.3 | Greater than or equal to 2.0 |
XX.7 | Test ordered, results not in chart |
XX.8 | Not applicable: Information not collected for this case (If this item is required by your standard setter, use of code XX.8 will result in an edit error.) |
XX.9 | Not documented in medical record Results cannot be determined (indeterminate) Dual probe test not done; only single probe test performed HER2 ISH dual probe ratio not assessed or unknown if assessed |
