A good result for HERA, but didn't Slamon find some longer term problems with the AC->(herceptin+taxotere)->year of herceptin arm of BCIRG006 that he thought might not be reversible? That is one of the reasons he has argued that Herceptin + carboplatin + taxotere -> rest of year on herceptin treatment is preferable.
