raneyf Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Has anyone had any success with Herceptin? I talked to a different doctor yesterday, and because my cancer progressed so rapidly while I was pregnant, he thought Herceptin might be worth trying some day. Wondered if anyone had been down that road? Thanks, Raney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 As you might know Herceptin has been used as a breast cancer drug, it targets HER2. This is a epidermal growth factor. HER1 or EGFR is the target of Tarceva http://www.genomenewsnetwork.org/articl ... ceptin.php It is interesting your Dr is trying this it is not the usual drug. I think that is good, he must be thinking "out of the box" I am not a Dr, but I think that he is trying other drugs is probably good. You might want to ask the Dr what he/she thinks about CI-1033. It targets 4 growth factors, HER1, HER2, HER3, HER4. Not sure if more is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
