WHAT HERZUMA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Herzuma contains the active substance trastuzumab, which is a
monoclonal antibody. Monoclonal
antibodies attach to specific proteins or antigens. Trastuzumab is
designed to bind selectively to an
antigen called human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). HER2
is found in large amounts on
the surface of some cancer cells where it stimulates their growth.
When Herzuma binds to HER2 it
stops the growth of such cells and causes them to die.
Your doctor may prescribe Herzuma for the treatment of breast and
gastric cancer when:
you have early breast cancer, with high levels of a protein called
HER2.
you have metastatic breast cancer (breast cancer that has spread
beyond the original tumour)
with high levels of HER2. Herzuma may be prescribed in combination
with the chemotherapy
medicine paclitaxel or docetaxel as first treatment for metastatic
breast cancer or it may be
prescribed alone if other treatments have proved unsuccessful. It is
also used in combination
with medicines called aromatase inhibitors with patients with high
levels of HER2 and hormone
receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer (cancer that is sensitive
to the presence of female sex
hormones).
you have metastatic gastr
