Re: Big Promise In Two New Breast Cancer Drugs
Don't forget Everolimus also - while he above study is in Her2 neg women the Bolero 1 and 3 trials are in her2 women. No results yet but my onc who is heading the trial at my centre says they are seeing great results so far too in her2 women but need more participants. I haven't seen anyone here on Bolero trials. I'm on Bolero 3 and currently stable. There are women at my centre who have been on it for more than 18months - some NED and others stable.
