Background: Breast cancer survivors, particularly those treated with chemotherapy, are at significantly increased risk for long-term cognitive and neurobiologic impairments.

Patients were enrolled in the study having previously received Herceptin® and ataxane (chemotherapy). The trial the compared the patients on each treatment looking at...  

Adding trastuzumab (trade name Herceptin) to the treatment offered to women who have HER2-positive breast cancer, significantly increases the chance of life being prolonged, and reduces the chance of tumours reappearing once therapy stops. This is important, because about one-fifth of women who develop early breast cancer have HER2-positive tumours that, if untreated, are associated with a worse outlook than HER2-negative tumours. At the same...  

The most commonly diagnosed cancer amongst women is breast cancer.

The goal of personalized medicine in cancer treatment is to target therapy to the characteristics of the individual...
