Re: DCIS & Neoadjuvant treatment - moving discussion to a new thread

Roz

Luminal A and B refer to oncotype DX type analysis and are ER+ subtypes. Luminal B is higher grade than luminal A and may require adjuvant chemo + anti-ER therapy. Don't worry about it. This primarily a research tool and if your are HER2 positive you are in the HER2 encriched group. "Luminal B/ HER2+ category is ER+ HER2+ high grade invasive carcinoma. Use of this particular category (as opposed to just HER2+ cancer) is always accepted as a category.
