Tykerb is given to patients who have had herceptin and have recurrence.
There is a trial with Tykerb for early stagers who have not had herceptin,
and that data will not be available for a while. Tykerb is another drug
for us to use in case we have herceptin resistance. But as of this date it is not used as a front line med for Her2...
