How much does a box of Trastuzumab cost?

Trastuzumab (Trastuzumab) has shown significant efficacy in the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer and gastric/esophageal cancer. For patients with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer, the use of trastuzumab can significantly improve treatment outcomes. Studies have shown that patients who take trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy can reduce tumor size before, after, or during chemotherapy, improve complete response rates, and reduce the risk of recurrence and death.

In the treatment of advanced HER2-positive breast cancer, trastuzumab can prolong patient survival. Combining trastuzumab with chemotherapy drugs significantly improves overall survival compared with chemotherapy alone. Trastuzumab is also used to treat HER2-positive gastric/esophageal cancer. Studies have shown that trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy can significantly extend patient survival and reduce tumor progression compared with chemotherapy alone. The efficacy of trastuzumab may vary based on individual differences, and trastuzumab may cause some side effects and risks, such as cardiotoxicity and allergic reactions.
