Re: Less Herceptin?
I found an article in the lancet that states what the other article stated. It was quite odd what the findings were. They gave about 1700 her2 positive women 2 years Herceptin and another 1700 or so one years Herceptin and the 10 year survival rate got both groups were about 69%.
Here is the oddball things. They gave about 1690 women no Herceptin for the study. Assuming they were Her 2 postitve this seems unethical. Their 10 year survival rate was 63%. It seems not only does one year = two years but no Herceptin - both for all intents and purposes. Unless I read something wrong this experiment indicates that Herceptin rherapy offers no real long term survival benefit. This doesnt make sense. Ill reread it more carefully
