What Is Your Hormone Receptor and HER-2 Status?
Breast cancer is not one disease, but a group of diseases caused by normal breast cells growing and reproducing out of control. There are three main kinds, or subtypes, of breast cancer: hormone receptor-positive, HER2-positive, and triple-negative. The breast cancer subtype helps doctors determine which treatments may work best.
