Commentary on Twitter

Great case-control study in a modern cohort evaluating long-term cardiovascular disease after #breastcancer treatment. HR for heart failure/cardiomyopathy higher for anthracyclines (HR=1.84) and herceptin (HR=2.53) than for #radiotherapy (HR=1.38). #bcsmhttps://t.co/ZEVfbwlepr
