A life-extending drug for people in England with a specific type of incurable breast cancer is now available through the NHS. Multiple outlets report that the decision follows a reversal of an earlier assessment that had blocked routine access.
BBC and Sky News say the treatment had previously been deemed too expensive by an NHS health body, delaying wider use. They add that the change comes around two years after that decision. The Daily Mail and Mail Online describe the development as a “U-turn” and suggest the drug can extend life for some patients, with coverage framing it as potentially “life-changing.”
