DCIS Hormone receptor negative

DCIS Hormone receptor negative

I've been diagnosed with DCIS, have had lumpectomy and am undergoing radiation treatment.  I've just learned that the cancer is hormone receptor negative.....so I need to undergo additional therapies or not?


This discussion is related to HER2.

The lumpectomy followed by Radiation would be the standard treatment since the cancer is NOT hormone receptive. I don't know of any further treatment that would be of benefit in this case.    Regards ....
