Adjuvant treatment with trastuzumab of patients with HER2-positive, T1a-bN0M0 breast tumors: A systematic review and meta-analysis

The benefit of adjuvant trastuzumab treatment in patients with HER2-positive breast tumors ≤ 10 mm without lymph node involvement (T1abN0) is insufficiently investigated. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine if adjuvant trastuzumab improves the prognosis in these patien...

Zusammenfassung:The benefit of adjuvant trastuzumab treatment in patients with HER2-positive breast tumors ≤ 10 mm without lymph node involvement (T1abN0) is insufficiently investigated. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine if adjuvant trastuzumab improves the prognosis in these patients. Databases were searched to identify interventional and observational studies evaluating the effect of trastuzumab on breast cancer specific survival (BCSS), disease free survival (DFS), distant recurrence free survival (DRFS), overall survival (OS) or recurrence free survival (RFS). Twelve studies examining the effect of trastuzumab and nine control studies without trastuzumab were identified (n = 6927). Median follow-up was 36–123 months. Significantly improved DFS (Hazard Ratio (HR) 0.14, p
