To know Super-Herceptin, a very effective Her2+ MBC drug exists, but won't be made available for approx. 3 years because of some technicality that probably has no real bearing on drug's therapeutic activity, that ranks right up there with cruel and unusual punishment (Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution) for the effected patient population.
