Page last modified on: November 20, 2008
Question from Nana: Is there any information available regarding the two-year dosage Herceptin clinical trial? I was told results would be published in 2006.
Answers —Nicholas Robert, M.D.: It may take two more years before we get an answer.
Jennifer Griggs, M.D., M.P.H.: That's a good thing because it shows that not enough women have had a recurrence to show a difference between the different treatment groups.

On Wednesday, June 21, 2006, our Ask-the-Expert Online Conference was called Updates from the 2006 ASCO Annual Meeting. Nicholas Robert, M.D. and moderator Jennifer Griggs, M.D., M.P.H. answered your questions about recent advances in breast cancer treatment, updates on breast cancer genetics, information on diet and risk of recurrence, and more.
