No - Gemzar is a chemo; Herceptin is an antibody specifically designed to bind to the cancer cells which overexpress the Her2 protein to stop the cells from growing and dividing. Chemo drugs generally slow or stop the growth of cancer cells. Herceptin is also known as Trastuzumab and is used only for Her2+ cancers. It can be used alone or in combination with other chemo drugs.
