Here is a link to an article that discusses this abstract:

I did not have chemotherapy for my stage 1 bc in 2006; my onc offered me a course of Herceptin and AI's. In my most recent visit with him this week, he told me that he is still offering that protocol to his patients who decline chemotherapy. Don't know if he will be looking to add Tykerb to that regimen in the future based on Osborne's work.
