Overview

Tukysa is a cancer medicine that is used to treat breast cancer that is locally advanced or metastatic (has spread to other parts of the body) and when it is HER2-positive. This means the cancer cells produce a protein on their surface, HER2, which stimulates the growth of the cancer.

Tukysa is used with two other medicines, capecitabine and trastuzumab, and is used after at least 2 other treatments for HER2-positive cancer have already been tried.

The active substance in Tukysa is tucatinib.
