I'm trying to present this lower response in the best light possible. Yes, according to the article link in this post, hormonal positives that were her2+ repsonded less to Herceptin than hormona negatives, probably due to the cancer having another pathway via the hormones to proliferate. I do think the 15% figure that the article gave was less than I would have suspected. Therefore, I would want to check this number before I bought into it. Also, remember that maybe hormonal positives repsond less to H. but hormonal positives do relapse less than hormonal negatives .
