The combination of doxorubicin and herceptin (H) has been proven to be an effective regimen in metastatic breast cancer (MBC), although it was associated with an increased risk of cardiotoxicity. Methods: The aim of this study was to evaluate cardiac safety and efficacy of epirubicin (E) in combination with low-dose herceptin (LD-H) as first-line chemotherapy for women with HER-2 positive MBC.
