What is being tested?
The study is testing how well stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) works when combined with tucatinib, trastuzumab, and capecitabine in controlling brain metastases from HER-2 positive breast cancer. This combination treatment approach is experimental.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include diarrhea, liver issues reflected by blood test changes, heart problems like reduced heart pump function or irregular heartbeat, allergic reactions to any of the drugs used, as well as fatigue and low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk.
