Re: " Our data strongly suggest that selected pts with HER2+ tumors may not need chem

Love this study!

It truly shows the effectiveness of the Tykerb Herceptin combination. Now there are more options to put with it.

I can't wait to see studies come out with other targeted therapies.

Is there a study yet with TDM1 and Tykerb? Or Pertuzumaub, Herceptin and Tykerb?

I have been waiting for studies with neoadjuvant treatments with targeted therapies. I can't wait until the day when chemo, surgery and radiation fade into medical history . . . !
