Conclusion: The research suggests that subcutaneous trastuzumab is comparable in effectiveness and safety to the intravenous administration. Regional-specific studies may provide valuable insights into demographic factors influencing treatment outcomes in Peru or other countries. Furthermore, it could represent a more accessible alternative, potentially enhancing patient adherence and optimizing healthcare resource logistics.
