WHAT TARCEVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Tarceva contains the active substance erlotinib. Tarceva is a medicine
used to treat cancer by
preventing the activity of a protein called epidermal growth factor
receptor (EGFR). This protein is
known to be involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells.
Tarceva is indicated for adults. This medicine can be prescribed to
you if you have non-small cell lung
cancer at an advanced stage. It can be prescribed as initial therapy
or as therapy if your disease
remains largely unchanged after initial chemotherapy, provided your
cancer cells have specific EGFR
mutations. It can also be prescribed if previous chemotherapy has not
helped to stop your disease.
This medicine can also be prescribed to you in combination with
another treatment called gemcitabine
if you have cancer of the pancreas at a metastatic stage.
