Abstract excerpt
Trastuzumab has improved the prognosis of HER2 positive breast cancer, but cardiotoxicity remains a concern. We aimed to identify risk factors for trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity, with an emphasis on the HER2 Ile655Val single nucleotide polymorphism. This single-center case-control study included 1056 patients with early-stage HER2 positive breast cancer that received adjuvant trastuzumab. Cardiotoxicity was...
