Public praise of Herceptin continues

Filed under: Breast Cancer, Drug It has been very curious to me to read so much about how convinced breast cancer patients are that Herceptin promises some kind of miracles in the treatment of breast cancer. When I last posted about Herceptin and English nurse Barbara Clark's successful appeal to be able to take the drug, despite Lancet's insistence that the drug was not clinically proven to work on early onset breast cancer, I received an interesting comment. A physician who read the post elaborated further on professional skepticism about Herceptin. However, this article appeared soon afterward. The public in Belfast, Ireland, is now enthusiastic about Herceptin's more widespread availability for women with breast cancer. Women with early onset breast cancer are particularly determined to take the drug, particularly due to the press Ms. Clark's case received, and I have concerns, because the enthusiasm for the drug among this population seems misguided.
