Of the most invasive cancers, 它们中的大多数继续表达正常的激素受体，如雌激素和黄体酮, and are susceptible to hormone blocking treatments. 约20%为“HER2+”,这是一种侵袭性的但高度可治疗的乳腺癌亚型，其特征是一种名为HER2的蛋白质“过度表达”," resulting in a more rapid growth rate of the cancer. Approximately 10% do not express any of these three receptors (estrogen, 孕酮, or HER2) and are so called "triple negative breast cancers," which can often be aggressive and require different treatment approaches.
