HER2+ breast cancer patients can often develop resistance to trastuzumab and therefore potential combination therapies need to be explored. Here, the authors report the results of a multi-center randomized phase II clinical trial evaluating the pathological and molecular responses associated with trastuzumab and/or lapatinib in combination with chemotherapy in HER2+ breast cancer patients.
