sorry,what i was asking was how do they determine who needs Erbitux and who needs it in conjuction with other chemo.my oncologist said its the rollsroyce of treatment but then i read that its quite toxic and people prefer cisplatin,is there a higher cure rate by adding chemo to radiation,im just abit confused about how it all works,this is the first time ive been offered anything other than radiation
