Two targeted therapies - lapatinib plus trastuzumab - are better than one in the fight against HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. These two targeted therapies against HER2, sort of a 'one-two punch', conveyed a more than four month significant improvement in survival when compared to lapatinib alone.
