Re: Dr. Edith Perez give great stats....
It is an interesting link. As it indicates, the vast majority of early stage breast cancer patients do survive to 10 years without any recurrence without chemotherapy. But how sad it is that because the trials focused on including chemotherapy, we don't have the data to show how effective trastuzumab alone might have been for this group instead.
