Last night cancer charities called on NICE to reverse its provisional decision and grant permanent access to the drug.<\/p>\n<p>        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-f2b82001bceb1f09\" src=\"image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" height=\"442\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Breast cancer patients Anne MacLean-Change, centre, and Alison Tait, right, react to the decision to make Kadcyla routinely available alongside charity director Mary Allison\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/><\/p>\n<p>    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-f2b82001bceb1f09\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/04\/11\/00\/3F23078F00000578-4398510-image-a-9_1491867002032.jpg\" height=\"442\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Breast cancer patients Anne MacLean-Change, centre, and Alison Tait, right, react to the decision to make Kadcyla routinely available alongside charity director Mary Allison\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Breast cancer patients Anne MacLean-Change, centre, and Alison Tait, right, react to the decision to make Kadcyla routinely available alongside charity director Mary Allison<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">If it does not, women in Scotland will be the only patients in the UK eligible to receive Kadcyla free on the NHS, meaning more than 1,200 women a year in England would miss out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Kadcyla is known to extend patients\u2019 lives by six months on average. Some are still alive after five years.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"rotator-panels link-bogr1 linkro-ccox\">\n<li>\n<p>          <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/04\/10\/23\/3F23ED9A00000578-0-image-a-9_1491864242455.jpg\" width=\"62\" height=\"60\" \/><span>How the NHS won&#8217;t give Bonnie a cancer drug that will extend&#8230;<\/span><br \/>\n        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>          <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/04\/10\/21\/3F20AE0000000578-0-image-a-16_1491857872801.jpg\" width=\"62\" height=\"60\" \/><span>Now YOU can fight back against sepsis: As Lord Ashcroft&#8230;<\/span><br \/>\n        <\/a>\n      <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Scottish Medicines Consortium said the drug offers patients \u2018a significant increase in overall survival and quality of life\u2019.

Until now, women in Scotland seeking the drug have had to pay for it privately.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">More than 115,000 people have signed a petition calling on NICE to reverse its decision that could see women in England having to pay. Announcing the provisional rejection of Kadcyla in December, Professor Carole Longson of NICE said: \u2018The reality is that the price is currently too high in relation to the benefits it gives.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Manufacturer Roche said it is negotiating with NICE to reverse the decision but cost is the sticking point. Roche said it would charge the NHS the full price for a 14-month course \u2013 typically around \u00a390,000 \u2013 but would provide the drug free for any patient who lived longer. Overall, 15 per cent survive more than 14 months and of these many live for several years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Baroness Delyth Morgan, chief executive of the charity Breast Cancer Now, said it was \u2018absolutely fantastic news\u2019 that Kadcyla would be available to patients in Scotland but called on NICE to make it available on the NHS in England where \u2018thousands of patients&#8230; are still living in desperate hope\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n<p>            <!-- ad: http:\/\/mads.dailymail.co.uk\/v2\/us\/health\/none\/article\/other\/inread_player.html --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"social-links-title\">Share or comment on this article<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"bigLinks sc-icns cleared\">\n<li class=\"share-facebook\">\n<p>                                    <span class=\"wai\">e-mail<\/span><br \/>\n                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<li class=\"share-icons\" id=\"shareLinkBottom\">\n<p>                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<li class=\"social-stats social-stats-pipe\" id=\"shareCountBottom\">\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"addCommentButton\" class=\"add-comment\">\n<p>                                <\/a>\n                            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>            <!-- NOTE: WARNING: render-partial is a function --><\/p>\n<ul class=\"rotator-panels\">\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/04\/03\/19\/3EE8B7C900000578-0-image-a-17_1491245893825.jpg\" alt=\"President Razman Kadyrov (right), who is a key ally of Vladimir Putin , allegedly ordered the clampdown\u00a0\" width=\"154\" height=\"115\" \/><span class=\"wocc bdrcc\">Chechnya opens world&#8217;s first concentration camp for&#8230;<\/span> <\/a> <\/li>\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/04\/10\/19\/3F21372C00000578-0-image-a-26_1491848587047.jpg\" alt=\"China has deployed medical and backup units from the People's Liberation Army (pictured above) forces to the Yalu River following President Donald Trump's missile strikes on Syria last week\" width=\"154\" height=\"115\" \/><span class=\"wocc bdrcc\">China &#8216;deploys 150,000 troops to deal with possible North&#8230;<\/span> <\/a> <\/li>\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/04\/10\/11\/1A2E72E200000578-0-image-a-25_1491819543687.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"154\" height=\"115\" \/><span class=\"wocc bdrcc\">My children won&#8217;t get their hands on my fortune, says&#8230;<\/span> <\/a> <\/li>\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/04\/10\/18\/3F23C65F00000578-0-image-a-72_1491844226159.jpg\" alt=\"Caitlyn in November 2015\" width=\"154\" height=\"115\" \/><span class=\"wocc bdrcc\">Caitlyn Jenner reveals she HAS now undergone gender&#8230;<\/span> <\/a> <\/li>\n<li class=\"new shallow-ac mini link-bogr6 linkro-wocc\">  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/04\/10\/09\/3F2030D900000578-0-image-m-30_1491813313146.jpg\" alt=\"Row: Saffiyah Khan staring down English Defence League (EDL) leader Ian Crossland over claims a Muslim was surrounded and abused by up to 25 men.
