A member asked:
Is her2 treatment recommended for stomach or gastric cancer? pros and cons?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Therapy: Gastric CA: Trastuzumab which blocks the growth of her 2/neu positive cells which comprise some stomach cancers, and which has relatively mild side effects, has undergone successful clinical trials for a subset of patients with stomach (gastric) cancer. If the tumor expresses her 2/neu, it should respond to such a treatment.
