A member asked:
How well does erbitux for a methastasic bone cancer work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For a while: Erbitux is an anti epidermal growth factor 1 inhibitor. It is present in normal cells but more so in colon cancer. With chemo added, the combination does add several months to the survival seen with metastatic colon cancer.
