Advantages of triple positive breast cancer

Advantages of triple positive breast cancer:

1. Breast cancer is a common tumor that mainly occurs in women, but a small number of men also suffer from breast cancer. Breast cancer patients need to undergo immunohistochemistry examination, in which triple positive breast cancer refers to positive estrogen receptor ER, progesterone receptor PR and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 HER-2.

2. If all three indicators show positive results, then relatively speaking, the treatment options are more diverse, and the treatment effect and prognosis will be better. On the contrary, if these three indicators show negative results, the treatment options will be relatively few, and the prognosis will be relatively poor.

3. Positive patients can choose a variety of treatments, including surgery, postoperative chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted drug therapy. Such patients usually have a longer survival period, with a five-year survival rate of more than 80%. Although recurrence or metastasis may occur after surgery, the overall probability of this happening is much lower than that of patients with triple-negative breast cancer.

4. Breast cancer patients should maintain a healthy body weight and engage in regular physical activity. In terms of diet, they should try to choose high-quality protein sources, such as fish, lean meat, eggs, nuts and soybeans. They should eat more vegetables and fruits, and limit the intake of refined grains, desserts, high-fat milk and fried foods. At the same time, they should quit smoking and limit drinking.
