Abstract

Trastuzumab (Herceptin), a humanized monoclonal antibody specific for HER-2, has been used successfully in the management of metastatic HER-2-overexpressing breast cancers. The clear efficacy of trastuzumab against HER-2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer has led to a rationale in testing its adjuvant role in the management of early breast cancer. We summarize three important studies about the adjuvant use of trastuzumab in breast cancer patients presented in 41. ASCO annual meeting 2005.
