Is there anyone that had estrogen positive cancer, without use of AI?

@callalloo isn't the estrogen receptor assay done on all of our tumors after surgery (and sometimes with biopsy too)? I mean isn't that one of the basic standard tests done?

Oncotype also tests estrogen responsiveness but I already had my pathology results of 95% for ER and 80% for PR.

I think you're right. I thought the test was a tumor marker blood test because it's on the list but it's likely done as part of the biopsy.

Here's the definition:
"The estrogen receptor assay is a laboratory test done on a piece of cancer in order to see whether estrogen receptors are present."
