The main aim of this present review is to assess the available evidence regarding the use of trastuzumab (humanized monoclonal antibody) both as a single agent and as an adjuvant in combination with standard chemotherapeutic drugs in the treatment of HER2 positive breast cancer, since, in the last decade, no systemic treatment has reached such a high benefit in the treatment of this disease as trastuzumab. To do so, a search was made in the main databases such as PUBMED, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE and SCOPUS, including only clinical trials that fit the inclusion criteria. After analyzing in detail all the articles included in this study (3 clinical trials with trastuzumab as single agent + 7 clinical trials in the adjuvant setting with chemotherapy), trastuzumab has been found to be associated with a significant improvement in disease free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS) as well as the quality of life of patients suffering from this disease. Furthermore, the risk of recurrence (local or distant) and mortality was very low in all the analyzed studies, despite their heterogeneity.
However, it was objected that cardiac toxicity (decreased in the left ventricular ejection fraction and heart failure) associated with the use of trastuzumab was repeated in more than half of the studies. This adverse effect manifested itself in a very varied way among the patients, observing a higher incidence at advanced ages, although it could be reversed when the trastuzumab was withdrawn.
Lastly, although there are still doubts about the treatment regimen, the results of these trials suggest that one year of trastuzumab is the standard time of administration.
