New Treatment For Prostate Cancer (EDM31)

New Treatment For Prostate Cancer

EDM number 31 in 2008-09, proposed by Bob Spink on 03/12/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Diseases, Health services and Medicine.

That this House welcomes reports of the success of early trials of Abiraterone in treating an aggressive and often fatal form of prostate cancer; notes that eight out of 10 patients who have advanced prostate cancer may see their tumours shrink and be relieved of pain simply by taking a daily pill; further notes that full trials will be undertaken and that the drug may be generally available in three or four years; further notes that this drug, if it proves its potential during full trials, could help 10,000 men who die from aggressive prostate cancer each year; and therefore calls on the Government to ensure all possible support is given to accelerate the trials and ensure that the drug is available at the earliest possible moment.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
