Tucanat contains Tucatinib, a highly effective tyrosine kinase inhibitor that specifically targets the HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) tyrosine kinase. In cases where the HER2 gene is faulty, leading to the overproduction of HER2 protein, tucatinib provides a crucial treatment option by interfering with the growth and repair mechanisms of cancerous cells.
