What the petition asks
NICE ruled against an introduction of Zykadia (ceritinib) due to the cost to the NHS. Lung cancer is one of the biggest killers & currently patients are being denied life saving drugs. The drug in trials reduced tumours by 57% and increased survival by 16 months. This needs to be reviewed urgently.
