Reinstate the use of bevacizumab (Avastin) for use on all Cancers.
Colin has bowel cancer. He had treatment,chemo and operations to remove cancer. After Avastin the cancer showed significant shrinkage. We must get this drug reinstated for everybody that needs it.
Avastin works by targeting proteins on cancer cells called VEGF cutting the oxygen to the tumour. Avastin has been shown to work on many cancers. It is available on the NHS in Scotland and Wales. Why has it been de-listed in England since 4th November, 2015.
This is a targeted therapy that really works and has been proven to work. Doctors and oncologists want it back because they know it works
