Response to LA Times Article
I read the article in the paper this morning and was concerned about the following statement, "According to Kane, 70% of women treated with Herceptin do not respond to the drug. Knowing which gene strand causes this resistance "will save precious time and materials."
That's the first time I've heard that Herceptin doesn't work 70% of the time. Has anyone else heard that?
