Conclusions • For high risk HER-2 positive breast cancer, trastuzumab given concurrently with paclitaxel following AC chemotherapy, reduces the risk of a first breast cancer event at 3 years by 52%. • The relative risk reduction benefit was present and of similar magnitude in all subsets of patients analyzed. There is not, however, statistical power to establish efficacy in the node negative subset. • The addition of trastuzumab reduced the probability of distant recurrence by 53% at 3 years, and the hazard of developing distant metastases appears, thus far, to decrease over time.
Conclusions 4. Results at a median follow-up of 2 years show a statistically significant survival advantage with a relative risk reduction of 33%. 5. The combination of trastuzumab and chemotherapy has a notable risk of cardiac toxicity. Careful monitoring of cardiac function is of vital importance if trastuzumab is to be used in the adjuvant setting.
