Hopefully all the others in the trial are responding as well. If so, this could eventually make a radical change in neoadjuvent and possibly adjuvent treatment for future her2 positive BC patients.

Wouldn't it be something if doctor's could then say, "if you have to have cancer than her2 is the one you want?" That's what they told me when I had DCIS (0) in 2004 in the other breast. At the time it was to small to be considered for her2 testing, but I was also ER/PR negative then as well.
