Breast Cancer Treatment Tailored to Stage, Hormone Receptors, and HER2 Expression

Treatment approaches for breast cancer vary significantly, depending on several key characteristics of the disease and the individual patient. These factors include the cancer’s stage, hormone receptor status, HER2 expression, and specific patient considerations. Specifically, doctors tailor breast cancer treatment plans to the stage of the cancer’s progression. They also consider whether the cancer cells have hormone receptors (making them responsive to hormone therapy) and the level of HER2 protein expression, which can influence the use of targeted therapies. Patient-specific factors, such as overall health, age, and personal preferences, further shape the individualized treatment strategy.
