Fundraising For Trastuzumab
Trastuzumab is a breakthrough targeted therapy widely used to treat HER2-positive cancers, including certain types of breast and oesophagal cancers. By blocking HER2 receptors on cancer cells, trastuzumab slows tumour growth and helps the immune system attack these cells more effectively. This treatment can help improve the survival rate of cancer patients, but its high cost makes it harder for people to access.
In order to help those who need the medication, many organisations and communities establish campaigns that raise funds for the treatment of certain types of cancer. These help patients afford the necessary medications, such as trastuzumab. Crowdfunding, grants, and charitable donations enable patients to receive the care they need, especially for life-extending therapies not fully covered by insurance.
