Review: Fascinating and detailed. - A compelling read about the discovery of the drug Herceptin. My education crossed paths with both Dr. Dennis Salmon and Dr. John Glaspy during my internship at UCLA in 1992. Both of them were my attending physicians during my internship. In fact, my first rotation out of medical school (from UCSF) was on the solid oncology unit at UCLA and a few short months later it was on the bone marrow transplant unit. I encountered many deathly sick patients and sadly many died. I wish I knew what Dr. Slamon and Dr. Glaspy were doing at the very time of my internship to help save the lives of their patients. They are to be commended for advancing the treatments for breast cancer. All these years later I wish that my internship had started with one of the oncology attendings telling me this: "Your internship is going to suck. You will take care of devastatingly sick patients many of whom will die. You will be fatigued and get little sleep. You will become attached to them and feel the pain that they and their families go through. And often, it will be hopeless, but we want you to know that as you are on the wards taking care of them we are working on the advances that one day will help to save their lives. If I had only known about those first patients ever to receive HERCEPTIN it might have changed not only my year of internship but all the years since. I recognize that it is in the 26 years since doing my internship that many new treatments have in fact come along to save or at least add years to people's lives. It was 9 years after my internship that the drug GLEEVEC was approved--I wish it had been available to save the life of one of my patients, JK. I watched as the attendings and fellows and residents and myself were completely helpless in saving him. Robert Bazell is to be commended for not only reporting the science, but the politics and bureaucracy of bringing a life saving drug to market.
Review: Discovery of Herceptin - A book about one of the greatest discovery in oncology,Trastuzumab ,commercial name Herceptin, wich saved since then so many her2 positive women.It opened the way for more treatments but this one was revolutionary. The book is not complicated with scientific terms,it's more like a captivating fiction. Easy to read and helpful for those who have this desease.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, but dated.
*by T***T on December 23, 2014*

Very interesting to read since I am now using this miracle drug for a recent diagnosis. I was surprised to see it was published so long ago (1998) and I'd love it to be updated. The personal stories of the women who fought for this drug, and those who didn't get to benefit from it, are the most compelling. I am so grateful to benefit from all the pioneering work that's been done. So why does this still cost $10,000.00 for each infusion 16 years later? I'm getting it for a year, maybe $180,000.00, nearly all covered by insurance. An update on the costs of developing, marketing, and distributing the drug would be helpful.
