Figure: Proportion of labs with sufficient HER-2 IHC staining results in the latest four runs. The FDA approved kits, espc. Pathway (Ventana), have shown to be robust, while in-house systems generally show a poor performance. It is not acceptable that labs make their own protocols unless they can prove a performance comparable to the FDA approved kits.
