Hi Robin,

There were some key differences. For example, most of the women in the HERA trial had received only an anthracycline, no taxane. Some of the women who were accepted from the UK even got herceptin after CMF. Since all of the women in the U.S. trials received both anthracyclines and taxanes, those trials and HERA cannot be compared directly.
