This review of practice assessed all early breast cancer patients diagnosed over 12 months to determine the frequency of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positivity and trastuzumab use. The frequency of HER2 positivity in routine practice (185/1319; 14%) was less than expected. A significant proportion of patients (56/185; 30%) did not receive trastuzumab, largely due to concerns about chemotherapy tolerability.
本实践回顾评估了所有在 12 个月内确诊的早期乳腺癌患者,以确定人类表皮生长因子受体 2(HER2)阳性和曲妥珠单抗使用的频率。常规实践中 HER2 阳性的频率(185/1319;14%)低于预期。相当一部分患者(56/185;30%)未接受曲妥珠单抗治疗,主要是由于担心化疗耐受性。
