What do my biopsy results mean?
Review the type and grade, estrogen and progesterone receptors (ER/PR), and HER2 protein results, alongside imaging and lymph-node findings.
Understanding your breast cancer results
Your biopsy and scans help show the type of breast cancer and how far it has spread. Hormone receptor results and other tumor features also help guide the treatment discussion.
How I can help
A treatment plan tailored to your cancer, test results, overall health and preferences, informed by current evidence.
Which options fit my breast cancer?
Discuss the roles of surgery, radiation and medicines. Hormone treatment, HER2-targeted treatment and immunotherapy apply to selected subtypes and situations, depending on the results and stage.
Why this treatment plan?
Clarify treatment order, possible side effects and any missing information. A second opinion considers current evidence, your health and preferences, and can help you discuss the plan with your treating team.
