Re: Treatment after Kadcyla?

Epirubicin for all intents and purposes is a form of Adriamycin.It is an Anthracycline chemical and has the same side effects as Adriamycin such as hair loss, mouth sores, low white cell counts and possible cardiac damage. The dosage of Epirubicin is different than Adriamycin (say 100mg /m2 vs 50mg /m2 but I would consider Epirubicin to Adriamcin the same way as I would see Ativan to Xanax. Eprubicin as far as I kn ow has no anti-Her 2 Neu effect, it will reduce tumour burden.
