Risk of Recurrent Disease in HER2-Positive Patients

I had posted this in the "Articles of Interest" section, but thought I would move it over here, too. The article contained some info I had not seen before and thought it might generate some discussion amoungst the Her2+ ER+ people.

Daniel F. Hayes, MD:
What I find interesting about this study is that with ER-positive cancer there is an ongoing risk of recurrence for a long period of time. It looks as though there is a secondary spike between 8 and 12 years. Dr. Goss did not necessarily agree with that, but there have been some reports of this, whereas in ER-negative patients, the tumor recurs within the first 5-7 years or it does not recur.

Hopeful also pasted the article there.
