Yes, as I think about this a little more, it seems to me that even if some of the epithelial cells in the ducts of the prostrate are Her2+, I suppose that does not necessarliy mean they will start to grow abnormally--perhaps the risk is greater that they can act up, but there is not a certainity they will. However, I will make sure that PSA assays and prostate exams are part of my continuing medical surveillance plan--just in case.
