I agree. This is probably the premise of the "triple negative" (not ER, not PR not Her2) breast cancers that are so alarmingly dangerous. At least they are finding out more so that a therapy (like Herceptin) can be developed for these women.

It is not clear from reading the article whether these basal cell carcinomas are her2+ or not. Could someone clarify this please?

These basal cell cancers are not ER, not PR and not HER2.
