In the UK the National Health Service has been ducking the herceptin issue for primary and early bc by arguing that 'Roche has not applied for a licence yet, who's to know if it is safe?'

Nonsense, naturally, but just for once a high court judge has applied a bit of common sense and enforced a patients right to be prescribed herceptin if the circumstances make it a sensible course of action.
