The question is, does radiation kill her2 cancer cells. No one seems to have an answer to that question. You are right it is standard treatment for breast cancer but her2 is a different breast cancer just as hormone driven tumors are different. Before Herceptin, Her2 breast cancer treatment with regular chemo and radiation did not give a good survival rate for women with this cancer. It may have slowed it but it did not cure it and in fact her2 was a death sentence. That is why I have to know if radiation does kill her2 cells if it didn't work before why now.
