This paper addresses the challenging task of HER2 status scoring and tumor classification using histopathology images. It proposes a novel end-to-end pipeline leveraging vision transformers (ViTs) to analyze both H&E and IHC stained images. The method's key contribution lies in its ability to provide pixel-level HER2 status annotation and jointly analyze different image modalities. The high classification accuracy and specificity reported suggest the potential of this approach for clinical applications.
