				<description><![CDATA[NICE’s decision today not to recommend sorafenib – also known as Nexavar – to the NHS for the treatment of advanced liver cancer, is deeply disappointing for a number of reasons – namely the drug’s cost; the fact that it works; the questions this raises over NICE’s processes; and the effect this has on public [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org&blog=3148312&post=2463&subd=cancerresearchuk&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[A diagnosis of cancer can be a confusing time, where a lot of new information can arrive very quickly.
Patients can, of course, discuss things with their doctor whilst they’re in hospital or when they visit their GPs. But it can also be enormously reassuring to speak to someone else at a later date, under your [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org&blog=3148312&post=2453&subd=cancerresearchuk&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[You may have seen news this week that a batch of home test kits that allegedly screen for prostate cancer has been recalled, because they weren’t giving accurate results.
