What's the difference between a hormonal sensitive or oestrogen sensitive tumour versus a non-sensitive tumour? Okay, so 80% of breast cancer will have oestrogen positive receptors and generally this happens to be better prognosis. Cancers like oestrogen are great stray cancers that are anaplastic. They tend to be oestrogen negative and they are all hard to positive. We call them basal cell cancers now and this type of cancers in general, chemo plays an absolutely important role in the treatment. Thank you.
