Rich, are you talking about survival rates or response rates? Here's a link to a chart by PathyVision comparing response rates between Her2+ given Herceptin plus chemo vs Herceptin mono.

I think the statistics for survival rates haven't shown much of an increase yet, but Herceptin hasn't been in clinical use long enough for the stats to truly reflect what a difference it's made in the survival stats. I believe we'll start seeing an increase in the numbers in the next few years.

Love, Lolly
