Petition An urgent review of life saving cancer drugs

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.
