HER2 FISH results were categorized into the following 5 groups according to ASCO/CAP HER2 guidelines: Group 1: HER2/CEP17 ratio ≥2.0 and average HER2 copy number ≥4.0 signals/cell; Group 2 HER2/CEP17 ratio ≥2.0 and average HER2 copy number <4.0 signals/cell; Group 3: HER2/CEP17 ratio <2.0 and average HER2 copy number ≥6.0 signals/cell; Group 4: HER2/CEP17 ratio <2.0 and average HER2 copy number ≥4.0 and <6.0 signals/cell; Group 5: HER2/CEP17 ratio <2 and average HER2 copy number <4.0 signals/cell.
