Breast Cancer Subtypes (LONG)

['lizbeth]

Thank you Debbie, for moving the thread, and continuing the discussion on subtypes. And for typing up a long and informative post.


I think the Triple Negative will be one of the first to be broken down with the Her2 1+ and Her2 2+ being separated out. The ERs need to be separated. What about Her1, Her3 & Her4? MUC1, KRAS and all the others that Lani has posted about. There was a study that showed those with Pagets were overexpressed with Androgen receptors. Research is finding pathways and genetic mutations. It is about to become even more mind blowing.

In aviation, we use transponders with 4 digits, and 9 numbers to create 4,096 transponder codes. So the number of combinations from subtypes and treatments could become shockingly complex.

The SABCS is next week - I will be looking forward to seeing what nuggets come from this.
