UK NICE grants approval for breast cancer drug combination

Pharmaceutical Technology

The 'life-extending' drug combination is recommended for usage in adult patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer who have previously received hormone therapy. It acts by hindering proteins in cancer cells to avert cell division and growth.
