Innovative Targeted Cancer TherapyTrumab contains trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody that specifically targets HER2 receptors found in certain types of breast and gastric cancers. By interfering with HER2 signaling, it helps control tumor growth and progression, making it an important treatment option in modern oncology. Its use is recommended for adults diagnosed with HER2-positive cancers, following strict medical supervision and dosing guidelines.
Safe Handling and Administration PracticesFor best efficacy and safety, Trumab must be reconstituted with sterile water and administered intravenously by healthcare professionals experienced in cancer therapy. Proper storage conditions (2C-8C, away from light, never frozen) must be adhered to. Regular patient monitoring during and after infusion helps manage possible reactions, and individuals should inform their doctor about heart health or pregnancy prior to treatment.
