Immunotherapy with the monoclonal antibody trastuzumab
is a well established cornerstone of an individualized
treatment strategy for women with HER2/neu-overexpressing
breast cancer. Based on the reported data of
clinical studies comprising more than 14,000 women,
trastuzumab was approved throughout the European
Union in May 2006 for adjuvant therapy in patients with
early-stage HER2/neu-overexpressing breast cancer.
