'lizbeth I previously reported some good results for a dual her2 peptide vaccine.

It seems blocking several routes of escape is the way to go whether with monoclonal antibodies or vaccines.

Again, I don't know how many triple negative DCISs turn into Triple negative invasive breast cancers, but will now look into if there are paper which might give us an idea. It was my impression that her2+ breast cancer was relatively unique in often having an adjacent area of DCIS. Perhaps the natural history of other subtypes is different, perhaps not.
