Gemcitabine is for pancreatic cancer. Abraxane is for breast cancer. Don't think they would combine them ??

The chemotherapy combination consisting of AbraxaneÃ�Â® (paclitaxel) and GemzarÃ�Â® (gemcitabine) appears promising for the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer. These results were recently presented at the 2008 annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research.

Someone coming here for information on becoming a coder should find out where they want to work and what type of coding credential tha ...
