Laurel,
We picked it up off of page 4 - from other studies:
Quote:

Different authors have described the maximum peak of recurrence risk at 12-24 months after surgery [16-22] and the occurrence of a second peak at approximately the fifth year in some cases [17,18,20,22].

I did find the same confusion - about the terminology.
From prior reading I was under the impression that Her2 positive, hormone negative cancers recurred within the first 2 years then dropped. Recurrences with Her2 Positive ER Positive cancers had a tendency to occur more frequently beyond 2 years.
I think this brings us back to the prior discussion: Who is recurring? and the fact that SEERS does not track this type of data.
I will take another look . . .
