Distinct Clinicopathological Features of HER2-Negative, HER2-Low, and HER2-Overexpressing Urothelial Carcinoma in a Large Chinese Cohort
Purpose
To investigate the expression patterns of Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) and their clinicopathological associations across the full spectrum (negative, low, and overexpression) in a large cohort of Chinese urothelial carcinoma (UC) patients.
Materials and Methods
A multicenter registry study (April 2023–March 2024) across eight Chinese tertiary hospitals included 1054 UC patients. Demographic, clinical, and pathological data were analyzed to identify factors associated with different HER2 expression levels (IHC 0 vs. 1+ vs. 2+/3+). A subset of patients was evaluated for additional IHC markers (e.g., CK20, GATA3, P16, Uroplakin3, Ki-67).
Results
Of 1054 patients, 18.6% were HER2-negative (IHC 0), 23.0% were HER2-low (IHC 1+), and 58.4% exhibited HER2 overexpression (IHC 2+/3+). Increasing HER2 expression was significantly associated with bladder tumor location (63.1% in IHC 2+/3+, p < 0.001), infiltrative tumors (61.1% in IHC 2+/3+, p < 0.001), and high-grade tumors (62.5% in IHC 2+/3+, p < 0.001). In a sub-analysis comparing HER2-low (1+) and HER2-overexpressing (2+/3+) groups, multivariable logistic regression confirmed bladder primary site (OR = 1.783, p = 0.001), infiltrative status (OR = 1.492, p = 0.027), and high-grade differentiation (OR = 1.918, p = 0.001) as independent predictors of HER2 overexpression, though the model's predictive ability was modest (AUC = 0.64). Expression of CK20, GATA3, P16, and Uroplakin3 also differed significantly between HER2-negative and HER2-positive groups.
Conclusions
This study delineates distinct clinicopathological profiles for HER2-negative, HER2-low, and HER2-overexpressing UC in Chinese patients. These findings provide a crucial evidence base for refining personalized treatment strategies, particularly for HER2-targeted therapies like antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), across the entire spectrum of HER2 expression.
