Early Breast Cancer, HER2 Status, and Adjuvant Anthracyclines
In the treatment of early breast cancer, anthracycline-based adjuvant chemotherapy improves disease-free and overall survival compared with non–anthracycline-based adjuvant chemotherapy. However, it is unclear whether the response depends on the HER2 status of the breast tumors. Gennari et al. (p. 14) performed a pooled analysis of data from eight randomized controlled trials that compared anthracycline-based with non–anthracycline-based adjuvant chemotherapy regimens in early breast cancer treatment. The analysis included 6,564 randomly assigned patients, 5,354 of whom had HER2 status information available. Anthracyclines were superior to non–anthracyclines in terms of disease-free and overall survival
