As reported here, the cancer fighting drug, Herceptin, which has been used for late stage breast cancer treatment, shows promise in treating early stage breast cancer. Although some have used the word "cure", I believe that it is too early to unequivocally say that, as the studies used were of short duration, but this is a welcome advance in the fight against one of the leading causes of death for women.
Kudos to Genentech!
