Post subject: Erbitux Posted: October 14, 2005 5:44 pmHello All,
My sister has bowel cancer with liver metastases. Following surgery she has received several chemotherapy treatments.
Dr Andrew Cunningham of the Royal Marsden has recommended that she tries a combination treatment of Erbitux and Irinotecan. However her local hospital -Addenbrookes in Cambrisge has said they can't/wont provide this drug/treatment. This drug has been licensed in the UK since July 2004 - but for whatever reason - is not yet widely used.
Does anyone know which hospitals in the UK will administer the drug Erbitux and/or how much this drug costs.
