Why Tumor Cells Resist Popular Breast Cancer Drug - UC Davis Cancer Center Researchers Show
Breast Cancer UC Davis Cancer Center researchers have discovered a likely reason why some tumor cells are inherently resistant - or become resistant over time - to the popular breast cancer drug trastuzumab, commonly referred to by the brand name Herceptin. One in four women with breast cancer are candidates for treatment with Herceptin, which decreases the risk of relapse and prolongs patient survival. For 30 to 50 percent of patients, however, the drug does not work.
