That's great. Now we will discuss about types of chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy for breast cancer may be required for localised or locally advanced disease, or for metastatic disease.
For localised or locally advanced disease, it can be either neoadjuvant, that is, given before surgery, or adjuvant, that is given after the surgery.
For metastatic disease, it is called as palliative chemotherapy.
Next comes the hormonal therapy. As we have discussed previously ER and PR testing is done on bipsy samples of breast tissue. If it is positive, hormonal therapy may be added.
Similarly, if the biopsy shows her-2 positivity, anti-her2 therapy is added.
