Re: Her2 +++

Our doc never said anything about level of her2 in 06 , at dx. But to get t dm-1 , they referred to path rpt, a "6 " on the FISH scale, w any reading above a 3 to be significant for response to herceptin t dm-1. Plus Lorraine is only her2. My hunch is that t dm-1 works best w. pure her2 overexpression, easier target ?? . May not work as well w/ some er +, pr + , mixed in. should still be tried w/ any high her2 as late stage tx. Maybe when approved , it will be used in diff. combos to hit other types of bc..
