April 2019—With the release in January of a new guideline for quantitative image analysis of HER2 immunohistochemistry for breast cancer, the CAP believes it is filling a gap and blazing a trail for the profession. In setting evidence-based standards, the guideline provides background and details about the quantitative image analysis (QIA) process and the data and metadata it generates. The guideline will help facilitate pathology’s increasing use of not only digital pathology but also artificial intelligence, says Marilyn Bui, MD, PhD, chair of the CAP expert panel for QIA of HER2 IHC. “This is not just another guideline. It is a milestone for pathologists.”
