Can Tarceva Be Used To Treat Pancreatic Cancer?
my brother was just told his lung cancer has spread to his liver and it s stage 4 cancer. He already had radiation and chemo. Now the doctor told him the tumors have grown and he needs to take Tarceva. Does Tarceva slow the growth of the cancer or does it shrink the tumors. I am trying to be optimistic but I am so scared for him.
