How much will Herceptin really cost? -- Barrett et al. 333 (7578): 1118 -- BMJ: "So we could fund Herceptin if we did not treat 355 patients receiving adjuvant treatment (16 of whom would be cured) or 208 patients receiving palliative chemotherapy, and if we found �0.5m from another source. These untreated patients will be people we know. We will be the ones to tell them they are not getting a treatment that has been proved to be effective, which costs relatively little, because it is not the 'treatment of the moment.'"
