This petition is now closed, as its deadline has passed.
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to give his personal assurance to British Kidney Cancer Patients that the newly licensed and approved drugs; Sutent (sunitinib) & Nexavar (sorafenib) will be made available to Kidney Cancer patients throughout the United Kingdom on prescription and fully funded by "our" NHS. Kidney Cancer is notoriously difficult to treat, the standard cancer treatments of chemotherapy/ radiation therapy are not effective against Kidney Cancer (Renal cell Carcinoma). Leading cancer consultants agree that Sutent & Nexavar represent the first real advance in treatment for a hitherto almost untreatable cancer. More details

More details from petition creator
This is an irrational situation. Some PCT’s accept the clinical judgement of senior cancer consultants, but other PCT’s force desperately ill patients through a long & complicated exceptional cases/appeals process, then disregard the clinicians opinion and refuse to fund the recommended treatment.
These two drugs are licensed & approved by the European Commission & in the USA as the standard treatment for metastatic RCC. It is unacceptable and immoral that British Kidney Cancer patients, who have no other hope, can be denied these drugs and sentenced to a premature death.
