Breast cancer Drug's heart risk: finding the best checkup schedule

NCT ID NCT02696707

Summary

This study aimed to find the best schedule for checking heart health in patients receiving trastuzumab, a life-saving breast cancer drug that can sometimes weaken the heart. Researchers compared two different standard monitoring plans in 200 patients with early-stage breast cancer. The goal was to gather information to help doctors protect patients' hearts without interrupting their cancer treatment unnecessarily.
