Just a comment or miro-met spread due to surgery; there are two schools of thought, one is the dislodging theory and for HER2, the growth factor theory (ie HER2 is a growth factor stimulated by surgical healing). There has been some recent and very successful work done with continuous 5-FU infusion as surgical prep; Continuous 5-FU during surgery and for days after, knowing that things may dislodge. There is very little evidence that fine needle biopsies dislodge.
