Does anyone know the likelihood of this treatment becoming available on the NHS?
Thanks
I have just looked up this treatment on the NICE website. It has been undergoing consultation which closed last month. Nice are going to recommend that this therapy should not be available on the NHS. There is another comparable drug which seems to score higher on costs/ benefits. You can read the decision and accompanying documents on the following link

That said, the Royal Marsden do announce that they will be using LU177
