*''Class I'': | |||
**Adjunct to histomorphology. | |||
**Examples: CD45, S-100. | |||
*''Class II'': | |||
**Considered independent of the other information in the pathology report; thus, cannot be derived from other information in the report. | |||
**Used directly for treatment decisions. | |||
**Examples: ER, PR, HER2. | |||
The implication of irregularies in the different classes are different. Problems in ''Class II'' tests are potentially more severe, as there is no internal control. | |||
