It would be interesting to know if the UK-banned treatments are approved by the FDA here in America. Banning a ‘treatment’ isn’t necessarily a bad thing if it is quack medicine. Not enough details to make any kind of judgment here as far as I’m concerned.

There's plenty of information. Read the article...

The rejected drugs - bevacizumab (Avastin), sorafenib (Nexavar) and temsirolimus (Torisel) - have similar costs and are used in other countries.

They don’t ban treatments because they’re quck but because they are expensive,

If medicine A is $120 and lets you live 6 months with some pain and treatment B is $500 and lets you live 8 months pain free

They’ll BAN treatment B, even if A won’t work for everyone

Its about cost
