Abstract

Randomized adjuvant trials continue to show significant reductions in distant recurrence and death for early-stage women treated with adjuvant trastuzumab. BCIRG-006 showed superior disease-free and overall survival of two trastuzumab-containing regimens in comparison to a non-trastuzumab-containing regimen. The rates of disease-free and overall survival were not statistically different for the two trastuzumab-containing arms. Ongoing study is needed to identify markers of resistance to trastuzumab and incorporate newer agents in the adjuvant setting in order to further decrease rates of distant recurrence and death from HER2-positive breast cancer. © 2012 BioMed Central Ltd.
