Herceptin may be an effective treatment for breast cancer treatment under which of the following conditions

A) If injection of HER2 in the patient's cancer cells stimulates cell division
B) If the patient's cancer cells have excessive levels of HER2.
C) If the patient's genome codes for the HER2
D) If the patient has excessive levels of other RTKs in cancer cells
