Has anyone seen a paper out there regarding DCIS HER2 positive in the ducts only, nothing invasive?  I cannot find one. Thank - you.

    Agada, there have been quite a few studies on HER2+ DCIS over the years but every one that I've found has been really small - too small to be conclusive.  The other problem is that results are all over the map - about half the studies say that HER2+ DCIS is more aggressive and the other half say that HER2+ DCIS is less aggressive.  

    I don't have time right now to dig up the information but here is a link to an earlier discussion on this board.  Within the posts there are links to a few articles/studies:

     DCIS and HER2/neu

    I talked to one of our oncologists here at the hopital.  He said another oncologist wants to do a study on DCIS in ducts only.  Now to get the grant money. If he gets it, it will be interesting to see what he finds out.
