chemo drug? - Monday again?

Posted: Jul 08, 2013

This is a drug for breast cancer with metastatic disease for bone after failing with Herceptin, Navelbine, pertuzamab, Taxol. Sounds like "Canceda" could be a K as well, but very difficult to hear and doc flubs in middle. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Maybe Kadcyla? - Hem/Onc MT nm

Yes, probably "Kadcyla" - s/m

My mother-in-law just started this drug to treat her breast cancer, after failing some of the other chemo drugs you mentioned. She asked me to do a little research on it. Just FYI: It costs $9800/month, which translates to $94,000 for a typical course of treatment. :-o

Cancidas. I know it is an antifungal but see if it could fit. - Olive
