| Status | Score | Significance | Reflex HER2 FISH |
|---|---|---|---|
| Positive | 3+ | Uniform intense membrane staining of > 30% of invasive tumor cells | No |
| Equivocal | 2+ | Complete membrane staining, nonuniform or weak in intensity in at least 10% of the cells or intense complete membrane staining in 30% or less of tumor cells | Yes |
| Negative | 1+ | Weak or incomplete membrane staining in any proportion of tumor cells | No |
| Negative | 0 | No staining | No |
