In 2012, the estimated age-adjusted annual incidence of breast cancer in 40 European countries was 94.2 per 100,000 and the mortality 23.1 per 100,000. About 15% of breast cancers have amplification of the HER2 gene and these cancers have an intrinsically worse prognosis than other cancers [1]. Breast cancer is highly heterogeneous, and PD-1/PD-L1 expression may vary among different molecular subtypes [2].

In 2010, there were 41,612 new cases of BC in England. Around 90-95% of pts present with localised (stage I-III) disease & are eligible for surgery & adjuvant treatment. Amplification of the HER2 gene & over-expression of the receptor occurs in 15-20% of BCs & is associated with a worse prognosis than HER2-negative tumours of similar stage and grade. Adding adjuvant trastuzumab for 12 months to standard chemotherapy is the standard of care, but many women develop recurrent disease [1].
