I posted a current study on DCIS, radiation and Herceptin under clinical trials. This study ends March 2019. It has an arm with Herceptin infusions in Week 1 and Week 4, combined with whole breast irradiation. The comparative arm only has radiation.

Sarah - this will be one to watch with interest. Could it be that the Herceptin you wanted in 1999 takes 20 years to be approved for DCIS?
