However, there is a lack of studies exploring the difference of neoadjuvant therapeutic response between patients with HER2 (3+) and HER2 (2+)/ISH+ early BC. We aimed to evaluate the neoadjuvant therapeutic response, long-term outcome, and intrinsic subtype heterogeneity between HER2 (3+) and HER2 (2+)/ISH+ BC.  \nMethods: We examined 2 distinct cohorts. Cohort 1 (C1) encompassed 2648 patients with HER2-positive early BC diagnoses, and they received neoadjuvant therapy (NT) and surgery between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2022, from the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Breast Cancer Data Base. Cohort 2 (C2) comprised 135 patients with early-stage HER2-positive BC who underwent NT and surgery at Henan Cancer Hospital from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2022. These patients had available genomic and transcriptomic data at their disposal. C1 and C2 were further categorized into 2 patient cohorts as follows: (1) patients with IHC HER2 (3+) early BC [HER2 (3+) group],(2) patients with HER2 (2+)/ISH+ early BC [HER2 (2+)/ISH+ group] . Among those excluded from the analysis were patients \u003C 18 years or >80 years of age. Clinicopathological parameters, long-term outcomes, and intrinsic subtypes were analyzed.  \nResults: In the C1 population, 83.7% had HER2 (3+) BC, while 16.3% had HER2 (2+)/ISH+ BC. Patients with HER2 (3+) had a significantly higher pathological complete response (PCR) rate (38 .9%) than patients with HER2 (2+)/ISH+ (18 . 1%; P \u003C .001), but the disease-free survival (DFS) was comparable after a median follow-up of 29 months ( P = . 556) . The addition of trastuzumab or trastuzumab plus pertuzumab toneoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) improved PCR rates and DFS in HER2 (3+) BC but not in HER2 (2+)/ISH+ BC. In the C2 population, 97.75% HER2 (3+) and 52. 17% HER2 (2+)/ISH+ were HER2 enriched (HER2E) subtype ( P \u003C .001) . HER2E showed increased PCR rates compared to non-HER2E ( P = .004) .  \nConclusions: Compared to HER2 (3+) BC, the limited effectiveness of neoadjuvant trastuzumab and pertuzumab therapy for HER2 (2+)/ISH+ BC is due to subtype heterogeneity. Reassessment of targeted therapy efficacy in patients with HER2 (2+)/ISH+ BC is essential.  \nKey words: HER2; neoadjuvant therapy; breast cancer; immunohistochemistry.  \nImplications for Practice  \nThis cohort investigation provides compelling evidence of a significant difference in the response to neoadjuvant therapy between patients with HER2 (3+) and HER2 (2+)/ISH+ . Patients with HER2 (2+)/ISH+ encounter challenges in deriving benefit from neoadjuvant targeted therapy, potentially due to intrinsic subtype differences. Based on our findings, we recommend considering HER2 protein expression when making neoadjuvant targeted treatment recommendations for patients with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer.
