If you have breast cancer that is ER+, PR-, and HER2+, your treatment plan may include a combination of targeted therapies, hormone therapies, and possibly chemotherapy. Here are some common treatments:

- Targeted Therapies: Drugs like trastuzumab (Herceptin) and pertuzumab (Perjeta) specifically target HER2-positive cancer cells.
