Interesting, but not relavant for HER2+, the statistics for this group are still being compiled.
However, if 34 of 100 who don't have chemotherapy survive regardless, and 16 of 100 survive with therapy, then I interpret that to mean that therapy improves chances of survival by almost 50%. Kind of shocking really, that it's such a low percentage, but hope this will change with the new therapies in trial, such as vaccines and antibodies.
Thanks for the report.
