A member asked:

Can you tell me more about xeloda (capecitabine) for metastatic breast cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is one of the goo: Xeloda (also called capecitabine) is one of the useful and commonly used drugs for patients with metastatic breast cancer. It is taken by mouth and fairly well tolerated drugs with no major nausea/vomiting associated with its use. It does cause some skin toxicities which are but a minor nuisance.
