Hi MaryAnn,

I too have been wondering why no news on any of the adjuvant studies that began reporting in 2005. Nothing at SABCS this year, for example.

Yesterday I was listening to a bcupdate podcast (always interesting - I like to hear the experts chatter among themselves, and disagree - again a reminder of so much we don't know). Anyway - someone made the same comment about no further reports about adjuvant Herceptin and the response was that when studies take longer than expected to report results, it's almost always because nothing much is happening - iow there are no huge differences between the treatments being studied, no safety cautions, etc.
