Our Open Letter to the SMC on Cancer Medicine Access
At Make 2nds Count, our goal is to ensure that every person living with secondary (metastatic) breast cancer across the UK has equitable access to life-extending treatments. Today, in partnership with Breast Cancer Now and METUPUK, we have published an open letter to the newly appointed Chair of the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC), Dr Robert Peel.
Elacestrant Rejected by Scottish Medicines Consortium
We are deeply saddened to share the news that the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) has decided not to approve Elacestrant for use on the NHS in Scotland. Elacestrant is a targeted treatment for postmenopausal women and men with hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative, secondary breast cancer who have an ESR1 mutation, with disease progression after hormone therapy, including a CDK 4/6 inhibitor.
