HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - like the song "AT LAST": her2+ breast cancer subtypes are being IDd, best treatments

Hi again. I received the PDF of the full text. I've only skimmed quickly thru so far, but it's quite interesting. It does break down the various HER2 subtypes they have identified (by several different criteria including PAM50 and the usual HR/HER2). And it shows response to Herceptin over and above to chemo alone (neoadjuvantly and by event free survival). The numbers in the subgroups are small and many of their observations aren't significant but still are interesting and should lead to more investigation about HER2-targeted therapy and response.

I can email the PDF if you PM me and give me your address, although I'll be traveling until Thursday so may not get right back to you.
