flag NHS England expands abiraterone access to 8,000 high-risk prostate cancer patients, halving recurrence and cutting deaths by 40%.

flag NHS England will now provide the prostate cancer drug abiraterone to about 8,000 men annually with high-risk, non-metastatic disease, expanding access beyond advanced cases. flag Based on strong trial evidence, the treatment—used with standard care—halves cancer recurrence risk and reduces death risk by 40%, potentially cutting annual prostate cancer deaths from 1,900 to under 1,000. flag The move follows successful use in Scotland and Wales, and comes after NHS England secured funding using savings from other treatments. flag Health officials and charities call it a major advancement in early-stage care, with potential to save over 3,000 lives in five years.
