The intent of the adjuvant therapy: curative, palliative, or preventative. “History of” doesn’t mean the cancer will not come back, and never can be coded as active, again. If the condition returns, you’ll again code it as active cancer. Resources. Johns Hopkins Medicine, Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Chemotherapy,

Triple negative breast cancers (ER-/PR-/Her2-) occur in 10-20 percent of all breast cancers (and are more common in BRCA1 mutations). Women with triple negative breast cancer have tumor cells that do not contain receptors for ER, PR, or Her2. These tumors are treated with a combination of therapies, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation ...
