One new study shows women with HER2-positive early breast cancer were able to be successfully treated without chemotherapy thus avoiding its harsh side effects.
June 15, 2023 – Sometimes less may be more, and researchers are increasingly looking at ways that cancer therapy can be safely “de-escalated,” making a patient's care less aggressive without affecting their odds of survival. One new study shows women with HER2-positive early breast cancer were able to be successfully treatedHER2 positive breast cancer is not that common, and diagnosed in about 1 in 5 women with breast cancer.
In this study, Cortes and his team divided 356 patients over the age of 18, who had operable, early stage HER2+ breast cancer, into two groups, A and B. Both groups went on to surgery, following their initial therapy. After surgery, patients who did not show any signs of cancer continued their treatment without chemotherapy. The rest of the patients received chemotherapy.
