strange
This is VERY strange stuff because.....I always thought of Canada as medically challenged but I do know that after the intial HERA trials results for adjuvant therapy; our oncologist had all the HER2+ women, 12 mos. out of surgery, contacted and offered them 12 mos of herceptin. I don't know if there was more tumor block testing done. I remember him saying that 33 women qualified. I don't know if this is unique to Ontario, the hospital, or what but...
Sorry I can't help more. The other thought is that with Tykerb approvals around the corner; may some real creative onc's will prescribe off-label and give tykerb profilactically instead of herceptin..
