Herceptin Question

Hi,i seen on fox news this morning that the drug herceptin that they use for breast cancer is finding that its benefiting stomach cancer patients live longer,im going to ask my fathers oncolgist tommorrow,does anybody here anything else about the drug.

Yes, this drug has shown benefit in gastric cancer that tests HER2 positive.

If the oncologist refuses to look into this... find another one.  Unfortunately, my sister's did not test HER2 positive so it would not have benefitted her.
