Lani 43% of DCIS is also her2+, according to the recent DCIS article you posted. I wonder how many DCIS + microinvasive would be recommended to have Herceptin or even chemo for that matter. When I was at Sloan-Kettering in 2002, they told me that DCIS+ microinvasion was not treated with chemo or Herceptin unless the node was positive. I think we are in a paradigm shift now, with the above type of article you posted, where you may see more treatment offered for microinvasive bc.
