Description
- Precision Blocking: Herceptin works by attaching to the HER2 receptors on cancer cells, effectively “switching off” the signals that cause them to grow and spread.
- The Power of Combination: At Shabaha Cancer Centre, we often pair Herceptin with chemotherapy or Pectuna (Pertuzumab) to create a comprehensive “dual blockade” for superior outcomes.
- Flexible Administration: Depending on your personalized roadmap, we offer Herceptin as an intravenous (IV) infusion in our Valley View suite or as a quick subcutaneous injection for added convenience.
- In-House Pharmacy Reliability: Available directly through our specialized oncology pharmacy, ensuring you have consistent, uninterrupted access to this life-saving biologic.
- Cardiac-Safe Monitoring: Led by Dr. Noordin Bashir Somo, our team conducts regular heart function assessments (such as ECHO or MUGA scans) to ensure your treatment remains safe and effective.
