This is a worldwide, multicenter, non-interventional, retrospective study. The study will consist of 2 components. The first component involves local lab rescoring of qualified historical HER2 fixed tissue immunohistochemistry (IHC) stained slides (preferably using Ventana 4B5 assay) at sites (post-training) for mBC patients previously identified as HER2-neg, and independent central retesting of HER2 status using Ventana 4B5 assay for any enrolled patients with available archived tissue samples at designated central laboratories. Local lab rescoring and independent central retesting/local lab retesting will be conducted blinded of historical HER2 IHC scores.~The second component involves linking the rescored IHC status to the patient medical record either through registry databases or patient chart review. Such information will be used to describe the patient demographics, histopathological features, clinical presentation, and treatment patterns following mBC diagnosis, and clinical outcomes in real-world settings for all patients with HER2 scores of 0, >0 and < 1+, and 1+2+/ISH- (HER2 low). The clinicopathological and other relevant BC biomarker information will also be examined based on historical biomarker testing results and/or new testing conducted as part of this study.
This is a worldwide, multicenter, non-interventional, retrospective study of patient medical records from metastatic breast cancer (mBC) patients previously identified as human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-neg), regardless of hormone status.
