HER2-negative Breast Cancer

Disease

Disease Profile

HER2-negative breast cancer is breast cancer without HER2 overexpression/amplification and therefore does not respond to HER2-targeted therapies used for HER2-positive disease. It includes several biologic subgroups such as hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative and triple-negative tumors. Treatment depends on hormone receptor status, stage, and other molecular features.

Category
Breast cancer molecular subtype (HER2-nonamplified)
Prevalence
Approximately 80% to 85% of breast tumors are HER2-negative
ICD Codes
  • C50
