Re: HERA results show Herceptin results for early stage bc hold up

Sorry to be seeing these results through gray rather than rose colored glasses, but doesn't that mean that the reduction in recurrence ie, advantage of treatment w herceptin was only half as much at 4 yrs than at two years ie, 24% vs 48% ie, recurrence was perhaps being delayed rather than prevented or did they somehow include the data of those initially treated without herceptin and crossed over in the rate of recurrence of those treated without herceptin (would not make sense)

Will try to read the original article.
