I heard it has a positive effect on cancer patients. Is that true? Does it cure gastric cancer?

Tarceva was approved for use by the FDA in November of 2004. Tarceva is used for patients with advanced-stage NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer) who have received at least one previous chemotherapy regimen. As far as I know, it is not effective on gastric cancer. You should check with an oncologist to make sure.

Tarceva is an oral drug used to treat stage III or IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer after a failure of at least one chemotherapeutic regimen. It may prolong patient's survival and improve his quality of life, as proven in the phase III trial.
Contact an oncologist.

Umm...garbage! I know the cures for aids and cancer. And it's not a man made chemical that is only used for treating a disease and never curing it. It's a substance that you can buy in a grocery store or a dolor store. It's really cheap. But it's only one of the cures for aids and cancer. I know a few more. If you actually want to know about them them just ask.

Tarceva is a very expensive chemotheraputic agent. I give it in the hospital where I work.
