Thumbs up THE ABSOLUTE LATEST stats 4 her2+ tumors<2cm ER+,ER-, node+ node- with/without vitamH

"vitamin H" short for herceptin

this metaanalysis combined randomized adjuvant Herceptin trials to get these stats

not sure I agree with the last sentence--depends what thet call less agressive treatment ER+ her2+ tumors and < or= 1 node may need additional targetted treatment rather than less "agressive" treatment altogether

Efficacy of Adjuvant Trastuzumab for Patients With Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Positive Early Breast Cancer and Tumors ≤ 2 cm: A Meta-Analysis of the Randomized Trastuzumab Trials.

Abstract

PURPOSE:
We compared efficacy of trastuzumab versus no trastuzumab in patients with small (≤ 2 cm) human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) -positive breast cancer treated in randomized trials.

METHODS:
A meta-analysis was conducted using data from five of the six adjuvant trastuzumab trials. Efficacy end points were disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Separate analyses were prospectively planned for hormone receptor (HR) -positive and HR-negative cohorts. Random effect models and Yusuf-Peto fixed effects models assessed the impact of heterogeneity on baseline hazards and treatment effects across studies. Peto-Pike cumulative incidence estimates were stratified by study and nodal status.
RESULTS:
Median follow-up time was 8 years. For 2,263 patients with HR-positive disease, 8-year cumulative incidence rates comparing trastuzumab versus no trastuzumab were 17.3% versus 24.3% (P < .001) for DFS and 7.8% versus 11.6% (P = .005) for OS, respectively; for 1,092 HR-positive patients with zero or one positive lymph nodes, results were 12.7% versus 19.4% (P = .005) for DFS and 5.3% versus 7.4% (P = .12) for OS, respectively. For 1,957 patients with HR-negative disease, 8-year cumulative incidence rates were 24.0% versus 33.4% (P < .001) for DFS and 12.4% versus 21.2% (P < .001) for OS, respectively; for 1,040 HR-negative patients with zero or one positive lymph nodes, results were 20.4% versus 26.3% (P = .05) for DFS and 8.2% versus 12.2% (P = .084) for OS, respectively.
CONCLUSION:
Women with HER2-positive tumors ≤ 2 cm in the randomized trastuzumab trials derived substantial DFS and OS benefit from adjuvant trastuzumab. Trastuzumab-treated patients with HR-positive disease and ≤ one positive lymph node may be candidates for trials assessing less aggressive treatment approaches.

Re: THE ABSOLUTE LATEST stats 4 her2+ tumors<2cm ER+,ER-, node+ node- with/without vi

Does this mean my 8mm tumor 1 pos node would NOT need H or am I reading this wrong?

Re: THE ABSOLUTE LATEST stats 4 her2+ tumors<2cm ER+,ER-, node+ node- with/without vi

The way I read the conclusion makes you right...... ">" with a "-" under means less than or equal to. Since my tumor was less than 1 cm, no positive nodes, and I was ER- , I would receive Herceptin. Interesting outcome.....

Re: THE ABSOLUTE LATEST stats 4 her2+ tumors<2cm ER+,ER-, node+ node- with/without vi

I'm 11 years and 6 months out from diagnosis, never had Herceptin, because it was not yet available in my country for people with such small tumors. I had hormonal tx though. So far no recurrences.

So for those who didn't get Vit H and worry about it: there's a small benefit, but there's still a good chance that you will do fine without it.

Having said that, I think people should have a choice. My doc said that I was lucky that I didn't qualify, because I might have developed heart problems unnecessarily. But if it had been available, I probably would have opted to try it.
