FYI: Treatment for METASTATIC breast cancer isn't adjuvant. Adjuvant therapy for breast cancer refers to SURGERY followed by chemo- or radiotherapy to help decrease the risk of the cancer recurring (coming back).
Metastatic Breast Cancer
Herceptin in combination with the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel is approved for the first line treatment of Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2-positive (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer.
Herceptin alone is approved for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer in patients who have received one or more chemotherapy courses for metastatic disease.
