Please explain....
I am a bit confused regarding the resistance to herceptin. Are there two groups of patients. Those who were resistant from the begining and the second group
being ladies who become resistant from taking herceptin? or does levels of PTEN in our boides alter and change the dyaminamics? The reason I question this is lately with the entrance of Tykerb many are mentioning adding or making treatment changes to include the Tykerb along with the herceptin.
I am just curious if there is definate information yet in regards to this?
Thanks All,
Jean
