There was a recent discussion of the big adjuvent Herceptin trials on breastcancerupdate.com (Volume 6) ...the interview was with Dr. Edith Perez that covers some of this.

If I"m not mistaken, I think she says in one of the interveiws that in terms of effectiveness, there is no difference between AI and Tamox in women who have received adjuvent Herceptin.
Interesting stuff.
