No, Xeloda is not considered a 'preventative' for brain mets. There are many who develope brain mets while on X tx.
Yes, Xeloda is technically small enough to cross the bbb, but it may also be helped along by a 'leaky' bbb from the mets themselves or radiation to brain.
Gemzar also crosses the bbb and has shown to be effective in brain mets, along with Xeloda and Carboplatin.
ok?
