it includes only her2+er- tumors, not her2+er+ tumors--so you have a type all your own!

As they learn more and more they may subdivide the subtypes into subsubtypes and some researchers think there are as many tumor types as there are people ie, that every person's tumor genetics is different from every
other persons tumor genetics ie, it is as unique as one individual is compared to another.

Those researchers think that finding the most important pathways within each person's tumor's genetic profile and blocking several of these simultaneously will be the way of the future.
