Does Bevetex Shots Help In Treating Breast Cancer?

Bevetex can be given weekly as well
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Bevetex is just another formulation of nano-paclitaxel. Paclitaxel and nano-paclitaxel are both approved for breast cancer that has spread. Though the trial of bevetex was on patients previously treated with chemo and it was given 3 weekly, we can give it weekly like other paclitaxel or nano-paclitaxel. The dose is 260 mg/m2 of body surface area 3 weekly or 100-150 mg/m2 every weekly. So dose also appears fine.
So if bevetex is working and you are not having too many side effects, I would suggest to continue it. Having said that, there are many options of chemotherapy in you as no previous chemo was given and another doctor may suggest a different drug as well.
Hope this helps.
Regards
