I sat in on the teleconference hosted by Dr. Dennis Slamon today and would highly recommend it to others. It will be repeated today, tomorrow and next week.
BC patients who were in the adjuvant trials should also attend as it may alter their outlook of continuing Herceptin while still in remission.
What was interesting was that cardiotoxicity from A/C is usually permanent but is reversable when caused by Herceptin, but recovery may take longer than previously thought.
