Brain metastasis-free survival in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.

TL;DR: Trastuzumab-based therapy significantly prolongs BM free survival in HER2-positive pts with MBC, probably due to improved systemic disease control, and ER/HER2 co-positive disease appears to be a less aggressive subtype of HER1-positive breast cancer associated with longer BMFS.

Adequacy of anticipatory anxiety in women receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer

TL;DR: Results indicate that trait anxiety and expectations of occurrence of side effects contribute to pre-treatment anxieties and patients should be informed as desired to avoid inappropriate and overwhelming anxiety.
Journal ArticleDOI

Active Her-2/neu signal transduction in breast cancer –relevance of a ligand-independent activation mechanism and impact on the efficacy of trastuzumab-based treatment

TL;DR: These data strongly suggest that proteolytic cleavage of the ECD represents a biologically relevant ligand-independent mechanism of Her-2/neu activation in vivo and merits further investigation in larger prospective trials.
