Have just read the article on the board about the effectiveness of tykerb for IBC when other treatments have not worked.
This has made me wonder if there have been any trials looking at this combo as first or second line treatment for metastatic ibc?
I also noticed that a number of our sisters on the her2 group seem to be using it to good effect.
Any info?
