Dr. Richard Isaacs, MD: Big Pharma has the upper hand and they know it
"There's been a lot of criticism of Pharmac over the years, and I was involved in advocating for
Herceptin
, but I strongly believe now there needs to be a strong focus on the costs that pharma are charging when they introduce new targeted therapies into the market.

Collective appeal to social activist Kalyani Menon Sen whose efforts could bring down cost of Herceptin in India.
As you may know that there are many options available abroad for the treatment of Her2 + cancers becoming resistant to
Herceptin
or given in conjunction with
Herceptin
like Tykerb, Perjeta, TDMI etc which could prolong survival. However, these are not available in India and cost prohibitive.

FISH testing for HER2 2+ and 3+
So when is
Herceptin
given?
Herceptin
is given for those who are HER2 3+ 3. Is IHC 3+ enough to give
Herceptin
? or is FISH mandatory for even IHC 3+ tumours? According to worldwide guidelines,
Herceptin
can be given for IHC 3+ tumours, and FISH is not needed.

Chances of getting disease free ?
As advised by doctors
herceptin
is being given simultaneously. Doctors have informed that
herceptin
will be continued for an indefinite period i.e till the time it protects her from any recurrence. I need your opinion on
herceptin
time duration please.
