“…Interestingly, grade 2 response (residual ductal carcinoma in situ DCIS only) was reduced in the trastuzumab receiving arm, 6.5% versus 12% without trastuzumab in the subgroup of HER2 positive tumor patient. This has to be put in perspective with the description of higher rate of HER2 over-expression in DCIS around 60% and the possible impact of trastuzumab on DCIS; clinical trials by the MD Anderson and the NSABP are ongoing in this setting [35].…”

“…56,57 Although there are a few molecularly based systemic options for the management of DCIS either existing or under investigation, (eg, tamoxifen for ER-positive DCIS, trastuzumab for HER2-positive DCIS), a better understanding of the molecular basis of progression is needed to develop further targeted therapy for these early lesions. 58 Information from clinical studies examining pre-invasive lesions vs invasive mammary carcinoma has yielded abundant gene expression profile differences between stages of progression (ADH vs DCIS vs IMC) (eg, [11][12][13]49,50). What is lacking is the understanding of which of these differentially expressed genes may be key players regulating transition through the stages of breast progression, not only to predict which of the lesions are more likely to progress, but to provide potential novel targets for preventative therapies.…”
