Testing a Two-Pronged attack on breast cancer before surgery

NCT ID NCT01750073

Summary

This study tested a treatment plan for people with early-stage breast cancer who had not yet had surgery. The goal was to see if giving strong chemotherapy before surgery, with or without the drug trastuzumab (Herceptin), could shrink tumors effectively and be well-tolerated. Researchers wanted to see if this approach led to no detectable cancer in the tissue removed during surgery and to understand the side effects.
