Summary

The HER2/neu oncogene is notable both for its role in the pathogenesis of breast cancer and its role as a target of treatment. Qualitative or quantitative protein evaluation has been achieved using immunohistochemistry (IHC) on frozen and archival tissues, a widely adopted technique due to the standardization of the internal procedural steps and its easy and low-cost applicability to any laboratory. The goal of the present study is to introduce an efficient tool for the automated detection of HER2 protein overexpression in tissues, providing accurate, instant, yet objective interpretation outcomes through a formalized procedure. The comparison of results with classifications by specialists who evaluated the same tissue samples dataset confirms the efficiency and prospect of the methodology.
