Herceptin as an Adjuvant

Herceptin as an Adjuvant

My girlfriend had recent surgery for brest cancer,modified radical. Three of seventeen lymph nodes were involved. The pathology report shows her as Her-2 positive, stain score 3/3.Also ER. negative and PR positive, moderate strong.We were looking at standard treatement of ACT plus radation. My question is can Herpectin be used as an aduvant since she is Her-2 positive or is it only available for clinical trials.

Dear LAH1, Currently the recommendation for use of Herceptin as adjuvant therapy is restricted to the setting of clinical trials.
