The aim of this editorial is to introduce new guidelines, including novel evidence and figures, on the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) pathological diagnosis of gastric cancer. In breast cancer, HER2 protein overexpression and HER2 gene amplification are significant prognostic factors and are targets for therapy. Therefore, technical methods and criteria for determining HER2 overexpression have been developed. Since these HER2 findings are also important in gastric cancer, the quality control committee of the Japanese Society of Pathology produced guidelines for the pathological diagnosis of HER2 expression in gastric cancer, including methods for pathological analysis. These guidelines were led by Dr. Kijima Hiroshi and were published in November 2011 (http://www. med. hirosaki-u. ac. jp/∼ patho2/SeidoKanri/Igan_Her2. pdf). The guidelines suggested in this paper were created based on new evidence and include inputs from Dr. Wada Ryo, Dr. Hirabayashi Kenichi, and Dr. Ohike Nobuyuki who were recommended by the guideline’s author, Dr. Kijima. New figures are also presented. These guidelines should be referred to for the pathological diagnosis of HER2 in gastric cancer.
