The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a decentralized treatment model on treatment adherence in participants with early-stage human epidermal growth factor receptor 2- positive (HER2+) breast cancer (BC).
This study has 2 groups: Group 1: Consistent Travel Burden (Cohorts A, C, and D), will include participants whose adjuvant therapy location does not increase their travel requirements, and Group 2: Increased Travel Burden (Cohort B), will include participants who must travel from a secondary center to a tertiary center to receive their adjuvant therapy.
Diagnosis of stage II and III HER2+ eBC according to European Society For Medical Oncology (ESMO) guidelines
Underwent curative-intent surgical resection for BC
Histologically documented HER2-positive BC (determined per American Society of Clinical Oncology [ASCO]/College of American Pathologists [CAP] guidelines) before or after surgery
Any medical or psychiatric condition that, in the investigator's opinion, would compromise the participant's ability to provide informed consent or to complete study-related questionnaires
Receipt of prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy for HER2+ BC at a center other than the 10 participating study sites (Bor, Kladovo, Institute for oncology and Radiology of Serbia (IORS), Loznica, Pančevo, Požarevac, Smederevo, Smederevska Palanka, Šabac, Valjevo)
Participants administratively belonging to the following secondary centers: Bor, Kladovo, Loznica, Pančevo, Požarevac, Smederevo, Smederevska Palanka, Šabac, or Valjevo, who initiated neoadjuvant therapy at IORS instead of their local secondary center
