Mesothelioma Drug Alimta Approved in North East England
Patients across the north east of England are to be given a potentially life-saving lung cancer drug.
Regional health bosses have lifted restrictions on Alimta to be given to people with mesothelioma.
The decision by Northumberland, Tyne and Wear Strategic Health Authority was made just days after a Teesside man's case was highlighted by the BBC. (BBC News)
