Abstract
This review of practice assessed all early breast cancer patients diagnosed over 12 months to determine the frequency of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positivity and trastuzumab use. The frequency of HER2 positivity in routine practice (185/1319; 14%) was less than expected. A significant proportion of patients (56/185; 30%) did not receive trastuzumab, largely due to concerns about chemotherapy tolerability. Copyright 2010 The Royal College of Radiologists.
