(CNN) Two new drugs for advanced HER2-positive breast cancer were tested in separate studies, and scientists say they've made progress in the development of new treatment options. "What's so exciting is we have developed multiple new drugs for HER2-positive breast cancer -- we have new drugs for all subtypes of breast cancer -- but the changes are most dramatic in the setting of HER2-positive breast cancer," Winer said. "It is the single area in breast cancer where we have made the most dramatic progress and continue to," he said. "For individuals with advanced breast cancer we can individualize therapy more than in the past; it is no longer one size fits all." "We are excited by these results and their potential to help patients with this advanced stage of breast cancer."
