We present a retrospective analysis on a cohort of low-grade, node-negative patients showing that human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status significantly affects the survival in this otherwise very good prognostic group. Our results provide support for the use of adjuvant trastuzumab in patients who are typically classified as having very good prognosis, not routinely offered standard chemotherapy, and who as such do not fit current UK prescribing guidelines for trastuzumab.
我们对一组低级别、无淋巴结转移的患者进行了回顾性分析,结果显示,人表皮生长因子受体2(HER2)状态显著影响这一预后通常非常良好的患者群体的生存情况。我们的研究结果支持在那些通常被归类为预后非常良好、未常规接受标准化化疗且不符合英国目前曲妥珠单抗处方指南的患者中使用辅助性曲妥珠单抗。
