Slamon and colleagues: trastuzumab plus chemotherapy in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer

Reported a randomized clinical comparison in HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer in which adding trastuzumab to first-line chemotherapy improved measured clinical outcomes while identifying important cardiotoxicity.

What is recorded here?

Reported a randomized clinical comparison in HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer in which adding trastuzumab to first-line chemotherapy improved measured clinical outcomes while identifying important cardiotoxicity.
