Lani,
This is extremely interesting...
In addition, there are currently no means to evaluate how long a therapeutic agent takes to affect the targeted tumors and how long the effects last.
Could this indicate that a maintenance program of some sort be designed for those that have had herceptin treatment...then after say 2 yrs. (just a example) another treatment of herceptin? That this will enable us to know if we need additional follow up treatments of herceptin?
As always thanks,
jean
