About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Locally Advanced HER2-positive Breast Cancer focused on measuring Metronimic chemotherapy, Locally Advanced HER2-positive Breast Cancer
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- HER2 positive by IHC (+++) and/or Fish (+) according to international definitions (ASCO 2007)
- Normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
- Indication of preoperative chemotherapy
- multifocal tumors acceptable provided that the largest tumor is Her2-positive
- ECOG 0-1
Exclusion Criteria:
- Another malignancy within the last 5 years (except curatively treated skin carcinoma, in situ cervix carcinoma, in situ ductal carcinoma of the breast, or in situ lobular carcinoma of the breast)
- Clinically significant comorbidities such as cardiovascular diseases, COPD, renal or liver impairment, psychiatric disorders
