HER2 and Response to Paclitaxel in Node-Positive Breast Cancer



Result:
Patients with a HER2-positive breast cancer benefited from paclitaxel,
regardless of estrogen-receptor status, but paclitaxel did not benefit patients
with HER2-negative, estrogen-receptor–positive cancers.


I am HER2-negative, estrogen-receptor–positive..

The only difference in the test cases are that I am getting Dose Dense ( instead of traditional. every 3 weeks ).

I have 1 month to research on this to see whether I still want to continue with Taxol after my AC finishes.
