Systemic chemotherapy is used in the treatment of breast cancer includes capecitabine (Xeloda), docetaxel (Taxotere), eribulin (Halaven), gemcitabine (Gemzar), paclitaxel (Taxol), vinorelbine (Navelbine), and others. Hormone therapy with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist is given to premenopausal who have been diagnosed with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Targeted therapy used in breast cancer include trastuzumab, pertuzumab, ado-trastuzumab emtansine, lapatinib, neratinib, palbociclib, ribociclib and abemaciclib.
The diagnosis, staging, and treatment of patients with breast cancer require multidisciplinary care in an acute hospital setting. In the U.S. Genentech Access to Care Foundation (GATCF) scheme helping patients to have access to Herceptin. Genentech Access to Care Foundation (GATCF) scheme helps people who don’t have health insurance coverage and those who have health insurance but have trouble paying for Herceptin. Additionally, Medicare insurance policies pay the fee for a clinical breast examination (CBE) once every two years for women at average risk of breast cancer.
