SAN ANTONIO – Prophylactic beta-blockade with bisoprolol during adjuvant trastuzumab therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer prevented trastuzumab-induced decline in left ventricular ejection fraction in a randomized trial.

In an interview at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, Dr. Edie Pituskin of the University of Alberta, Edmonton, explained why the double-blind, placebo-controlled MANTICORE trial may change clinical practice.
