the term they use for investigating (gathering data on) the true incidence of side-effects/problems once a drug gets used on a larger population once trials are over and the drug approved: post-marketing surveillance (have no idea how they came up with it) Again, if those who contributed here could add it to the thread on please post your two cents worth on the side effects of herceptin real or imagined (now classified under the herceptin/tykerb board) it would be greatly appreciated. Since the drug companies do not seem to be too actively pursuing the info, we need to make it as easy as possible for them to get our input SHOULD THEY EVER SEEK IT or should we ever try to SEND IT TO THEM.

Thanks again!
