    "description": "The pathologist's measured scoring of an immunohistochemistry stain on a tumor, where the answer needs to be a graded result rather than simply present or absent. Rather than reporting that a marker stained, the pathologist estimates how strongly and in what proportion of tumor cells it stained, because treatment decisions depend on the degree. Hormone receptors and HER2 in breast cancer, and proliferation markers, are the usual subjects. This version is the one scored by a pathologist reading the slide directly; scoring done with computer-assisted image analysis is reported under a separate code.",
