HER2+ / HR+ early breast cancer
Breast cancer epidemiology
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, with more than 2 million new cases each year worldwide.
Amplification or overexpression of HER2 occurs in approximately 15–30% of breast cancers.15
Around 80% of breast cancers test positive for ER, with 65% of these also testing positive for PR.29
Around 10% of breast cancers are HER2+/HR+.30
Breast cancer in females by subtype (%)30 :
After completion of trastuzumab-based therapy, your HER2+/HR+ early breast cancer patients are still at risk of recurrence1-3,6,7,31-36
Without further treatment, 20-30% of patients with HER2+/HR+ disease will experience disease recurrence within 10 years of completing trastuzumab-based therapy. 1-3,6,7,31-36
