Summary

This study tested whether taking oral chemotherapy pills (vinorelbine or capecitabine) along with the targeted drug trastuzumab can help prevent breast cancer from coming back in women with small, HER2-positive tumors that have not spread to lymph nodes. A total of 182 women who had surgery for early-stage breast cancer took part. The main goal was to see how long they stayed cancer-free after treatment.
