Herceptin Shows Benefits in Early Stage Breast Cancer

http://www.cancer.org/docroot/NWS/content/NWS_1_1x_Herceptin_Shows_Benefits_in_Early_Stage_Breast_Cancer.asp

"Genentech said it would approach the US Food and Drug Administration about approving Herceptin for use in early stage breast cancer patients"

A truly great results for this drug and Breast Cancer patients. FDA would take its sweet time to review the findings and go through bureaucratic motions. Since drug is already being marketed for late stage cancer, I am sure Oncologist would start prescribing Herceptin for patients with Early Stage cancer. Call your Oncologist !!!
