Question 5 targeted therapies?

This was on Fox news last night, the caption makes you think that being younger and on chemo that your at a higher risk for complications. Then it goes on saying that you are, but in the end, what other options are there at this point? And the complications weren't that bad,( fever, dehydration, low platelets) It would be great if there weren't any and it's better then the alternative....at least for this board or are we at a point where Herceptin is the only drug required at a certain stage without chemo?

It goes on to say that they have identified 5 distinct BC and are targeting therapy for them. I know one! Does anyone know the other 4? Just curious. Thank you.
