Cetuximab? Sutuximab is a common misspelling of cetuximab.
If you have advanced colorectal cancer or squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, your healthcare provider may recommend cetuximab (Erbitux®). This drug is injected into a vein once a week in a process that takes about one to two hours. Side effects are possible during treatment; skin reactions like itching, rash, and dry skin are among the most common.
