Interventions
Docetaxel is a taxoid antineoplastic agent used in the treatment of breast cancer
Carboplatin is a DNA synthesis inhibitor which binds to DNA, inhibits replication and transcription and induces cell death.
Trastuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody derived from recombinant DNA,
Pertuzumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to the extracellular dimerization domain (subdomain Ⅱ) of epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2).
Epirubicin is an antineoplastic agent derived from doxorubicin.Epirubicin, like doxorubicin, exerts its antitumor effects by interference with the synthesis and function of DNA and is most active during the S phase of the cell cycle.
An anticancer (antitumor or cytotoxic) chemotherapy drug that is classified as an alkylating agent. Alkylating agents are compounds that prevent the normal connection of the double helix chain by adding an alkyl group to the guanine base of the DNA molecule. It causes breaks in DNA strands, affecting the ability of cancer cells to proliferate.
