Abstract:
The target therapy of trastuzumab (herceptin) opened up a new way to the treatment of breast cancer. Nowadays at least 6 prospective randomized controlled trials (RCT) have proved that trastuzumab could significantly prolong the disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of Her-2 positive early breast cancer patients. This article summarized these data and gave the basic principles and strategies of adjuvant therapy with trastuzumab for our daily clinical practice.
