| Xeloda was launched in 1996 and recently celebrated the milestone of the millionth patient treated. |
|
| Cancer charities yesterday welcomed the Scottish Medicines Consortium's decision to approve the use of the new drug Xeloda. |
|
| Capecitabine, known by the brand name Xeloda, is designed to target cancer cells and avoid healthy tissue. |
|
| Unlike chemotherapy, the cutting-edge treatment, Xeloda only targets abnormal cells, leaving healthy tissues alone. |
|
| Xeloda belongs to a new class of drugs known as fluoropyrimidine carbamates. |
|
| The FDA has approved Tykerb, in combination with Xeloda, for the treatment of women with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer who have received prior therapy. |
