IntroductionIn patients suffering from breast cancer, adjuvant radiation, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy, which immediately follow the surgery as the first line therapy, greatly improve overall (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Various regimens of adjuvant therapy for these patients have been tested contingent upon the clinical staging. Inclusion of adjuvant immunotherapy is particularly promising.
Specific aimThe aim of this study was to assess efficacy of trastuzumab(Herceptin) -comprising adjuvant immunotherapy in terms of overall and diseasefree survival as compared to other adjuvant therapies.

Molecular and Cellular Therapies (2018) 6:2 c o m p o n e n t a s c u r r e n t l y t h e b e s t o v e r a l l therapeutic strategy for the patients suffering breast cancers. As this strategy greatly exceeds any other therapeutic options available for practicing oncologists at the present time, it definitely justifies allocation of all needed public resources, while assuring highest quality health service for the patients in Poland.
Standardization is one of the important tools for the implementation of EU policies to ensure the competitiveness of enterprises and the elimination of barriers to trade within the EU. The European Commission “e-Health Action Plan” (2004) recognized the interoperability of information systems in health care as one of its priorities. Standardization, in turn, is a prerequisite to ensure interoperability.
The authors examined the extent to which standardization is reflectead in the key acts on the informatization of health care:
The Directives for Informatization “eHealth Poland” for 2011-2015, approved by the management of the Ministry of Health,
Act of 28 April 2011 on the information system in health care (Journal of Laws of 2011, No. 113, item. 657, as amended).
Lack of effective comprehensive legal solutions in the field of standardization, especially at the statutory level has been confirmed. This complicates the process of informatization in terms of interoperability. According to the authors this lack meant that in most of the implemented systems generally no valid standardization solutions were implemented and thus the interoperability. The standardization initiative under the responsibility of the Polish Committee for Standardization was not used either.
