Bev: Succinct Summary!

We need statistics (assuming RT and excision as standard)

1. % Brain mets with treatment chemo and herceptin

2. % Brain mets with treatment chemo herceptin and hormonals.

3. % Brain mets with treatment hormonals

The figures above as observed seem to relate to the third group.

It was be interesting to see if hormonals have the same impact with or without chemo and Herceptin. It would provide additional in sight into the impact and workings of chemo and herceptin.

Can any body help with a link on stats for the other two. I know I have seen some material on chemo and herceptin but do not recall where. I think there was an expression of concern in the HERA trail.
