The product information further specifies that patients treated with trastuzumab deruxtecan for breast cancer should have documented HER2 positive tumor status, defined as a score of 3+ by immunohistochemistry (IHC) or a ratio of >= 2.0 by in situ hybridization (ISH) or by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assessed by a CE-marked In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) medical device.
