Herceptin Resistant Protein Discovered
Hi .... I Just Heard On Our Local News Channel That 2 Teenage Girls From Southern Calif Discovered The Protein In Her2 Bc Cells That Is Resistant To Herceptin .... The Girls Were Doing A Science Project .... Both Are The Daughters Of Doctors.... THE PROTEIN NAME IS: TDARP ...The Link To The Article Is Below. ... Hoping This Will Get More Attention Very Soon ... I Would Think This Would Be Big News For Us Who Do Not Respond To Hercp Alone ... Has Anyone Else Come Across This News ????
