Re: "The Making of Herceptin" and skin mets
Can someone help?
Lolly has been on my mind and my copy of the book was loaned out . I am recalling someone in that book that treated skin mets successfully with an injection straight into the mets. I know the book is dated at this point, but the treatment was something not standardly used for breast cancer skin mets, and I don't know if it's something that has been further explored or not.
SOMEONE out there please help. Thanks!!
