Small HER2 positive tumors
What systemic adjuvant therapy, if any, should be recommended for small, HER2-positive cancers (10% of all early-stage breast cancers)?
O'Sullivan C, et al. JCO.2015.60.8620
A total of 4220 patients with small (2 cm) HER2-positive BC treated in randomized trials were included in this analysis
Small HER2 positive tumors
Pts with HR+ disease and tumors < 2 cm• ↑ DFS (17.3% vs. 24.3%, p < 0.001)
• ↑ OS (7.8% vs. 11.6%, p < 0.005)
