HER2 Positive Breast Cancer, Left Ventricular Function Systolic Dysfunction
Cardiac Safety Study in Patients With HER2 + Breast Cancer
HER2 positive breast cancer cells have more HER2 receptor (a protein on the surface of cells) than normal breast cells. Approximately 30% of patients with breast cancer have HER2 positive breast cancer.

A Randomized Comparison of Radiation Therapy Techniques in the Management of Node Positive Breast Cancer
Radiotherapy has been shown to reduce breast-cancer specific mortality in patients at high risk for distant dissemination. It has also been shown to increase rates of non-breast cancer deaths and morbidity due to cardiovascular…
