RE: Research News: Potential Cancer Treatments Through Inhibiting HER Kinase
Great post. Perhaps derivatives of neratinib will end up being effective treatments for this specific type of cancer.

They weren't screening specific types of cancers. HER mutations (there are a variety of different ones) are found in a wide swath of different cancers (breast, lung, colon were explicitly found and mentioned in this article, but there are also others). Alterations in phosphorylation pathways are one of the major drivers in development of cancer.
