Some breast cancer cells make a protein called Human Epidermal Growth factor receptor 2
(HER2). Patients with HER2 positive (HER2+) breast cancer receive medicine that attacks HER2,
which helps these patients live longer. Some HER2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer patients
also benefit from medicines that attack HER2, but we do not know why or which patients will
benefit. This study uses a new imaging method, HER2-targeted PET/CT, to identify patients
that may benefit from medicines that attack HER2. This is experimental.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Women age > 18

- Biopsy proven HER2 negative primary breast cancer and biopsy proven metastatic
disease.

- 5 or more foci of demonstrable metastases on recent imaging modalities (CT, MR, FDG
PET/CT)

- ECOG performance score of 0-2

Exclusion Criteria:

- Life expectancy < 3months

- Pregnancy or lactation

- Patients who cannot undergo PET/CT scanning because of weight limits

- CNS only disease on recent imaging
