Thank you for your comment. The main topic was when to avoid chemotherapy in ER/PR+ and HER2- breast cancer. I’ll cover triple negative breast cancer in future video podcasts.
I am a 64 year old male with stage 2 male breast cancer. Positive Estrogen receptor 5% and positive Progesterone receptor 40%. If I have low risk lymph glands score of 25 or lower would I need chemotherapy?
I am glad you didn’t have to take chemotherapy. We are learning how best to optimize multi-gene tests to understand who is likely to benefit from chemotherapy. In general terms, chemotherapy is used when the Oncotype Recurrence Score is greater than 25, but each case is different.

Mine was 27 but I was post-menopausal so I didn’t have to have it.
