Could a chemo-free regimen surpass the standard triplet in HER2+ Breast Cancer?
Update: 2025-11-04
Description
A New England Journal of Medicine study showed a novel chemotherapy regimen, trastuzumab deruxtecan combined with pertuzumab, outperformed the current standard in treating HER2-positive advanced breast cancer, demonstrating better efficacy and tolerability with fewer traditional chemotherapy-related side effects. A JAMA Oncology study by Uppsala University revealed a modest increase in breast cancer risk with hormonal contraceptive use among over two million Swedish women, emphasizing the need for balanced counseling regarding risks and benefits. The REPAIR trial in Denmark, published in the British Medical Journal, demonstrated that a short course of antibiotics significantly reduced clinically important wound complications after vaginal delivery in women with episiotomies or second-degree tears, highlighting its potential benefit in postpartum care.
