I remember this study. Herceptin is not the cause of the tumors, but since it does not cross the blood brain barrier, is realitively inneffective in preventing brain tumors.

The HER2 Support Group is preparing a position paper on this subject which will be distributed at ASCO in June. It will summarize all of the data presented on this subject and will advocate for increased survielience of bc patients who are HER2 Positive by their oncologists.

Of course, we will also post this paper on our website.

Warmest Regards
Joe
