HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - all forms of alcohol increase bc risk--STUDY looked at bc in general, not her2+

ie, her2+ vs her2-

When I get time I will try to look up more details ie, whether they looked at if ER+ vs ER- pts had different risk of recurrence related to alcohol consumption, whether PR+ vs PR- made a difference as well as her2+ vs-

Many conclusions do not hold up when one looks at subsets of bc types as they seem to be driven by different signalling pathways.
