Do NO harm

On this website many MANY of those with small tumors have repeatedly raised the question as to whether the use of trastuzumab alone would be effective for them rather than combining it with chemotherapy. To date the practice has been to err in favor of adding chemotherapy. Until there are trials that allow these groups of women with small tumors to try trastuzumab alone for treatment, there will be no answer to their question.
