Treatment with anti-cancer drug T-DM1 after pertuzumab is 'good option'

(European School of Oncology) Patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, whose disease has progressed after being treated initially with pertuzumab in combination with trastuzumab and a taxane, can respond well to treatment with T-DM1 -- a drug that combines trastuzumab with an anti-cancer drug called DM1. The research is presented at the Advanced Breast Cancer Fifth International Consensus Conference (ABC5) and published simultaneously in published in Clinical Breast Cancer journal.
