1. What is TUKYSA and how is it used

What is TUKYSA

TUKYSA is a cancer medication for breast cancer. It contains the active ingredient tucatinib and belongs to a group of medications called protein kinase inhibitors that prevent the growth of some types of cancer cells in the body.

How is TUKYSA used

TUKYSA is used for adults with breast cancer that:

  • has a receptor (target) in the cancer cells called the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2-positive breast cancer)
  • has spread beyond the original tumor or to other organs such as the brain, or cannot be removed by surgery
  • has been previously treated with other cancer treatments

TUKYSA is taken with two other cancer medications, trastuzumab and capecitabina.There are separate prospectuses for patients on these medications.Ask your doctorto inform you about them.

How TUKYSA works

TUKYSA acts by blocking the HER2 receptors in cancer cells. HER2 produces signals that can help cancer grow, and by blocking it, the growth of cancer cells can be delayed or stopped, or they can be killed completely.
