Actually, it's a continuium. The older you are and closer you are to being postmenop. vs. premenopausal, the more likely you are to be hormone postive. In GENERAL, younger women have worse prognosis, but it has nothing to do with their age by itself, just that they usually have more aggressive cancers and usually are further progressed at diagnosis. Per my understanding, if 2 people presented with the EXACT same situation (tumor size, her2 status, ER/PR status, lymph involvement, etc.) and one was 30 and one was 80, they should still have the same prognosis.
