Yes, DCIS can be either Her2-negative or positive. However, at this time the prognostic significance of Her2 status in DCIS is not well established and as a result it is currently not recommended to test for Her2 status.
At this time the prognostic significance of Her2 status in DCIS is not well established and as a result it is currently not recommended to test for Her2 status. Therefore there is no data on DCIS survival based on her2 status.
[SOURCE NCCN ] Although the tumor HER2 status is of prognostic significance in invasive cancer, its importance in DCIS has not been established. To date, studies have either found unclear or weak evidence of HER2 status as a prognostic indicator in DCIS, 5-8 and no statistically significant benefit to the use of trastuzumab concurrently with radiation in HER2-amplified DCIS.9 The NCCN Panel has concluded that HER2 status for DCIS does not alter the management strategy and therefore is not recommended for DCIS.
