How it works

How Phesgo Solution for Injection works Phesgo 600mg/600mg Solution for Injection is a combination of two anticancer medicines. Pertuzumab recognizes and attaches to a protein called human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2). HER2 is abundantly present on the surface of some cancer cells where it stimulates their growth. When pertuzumab attaches to the HER2 cancer cells, it may slow or stop the cancer cells from growing, or may kill them. Trastuzumab binds to HER2 and stops the growth of cancer cells and causes them to die.How Phesgo Solution for Injection works Phesgo 600mg/600mg Solution for Injection is a combination of two anticancer medicines.
