Is fasting required before administering Canmab?

No, fasting is not required before administering Canmab. It should be given under the guidance of a doctor who is experienced in giving cancer chemotherapy and should be given only by a healthcare professional.

Can Canmab be given to HER2 negative cancer patients?
