Radium223 available on NHS ?

Is radium223 available on NHS for castration resistant metastatic prostate cancer?

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    Radium 223 is available on the NHS and has been approved by NICE for use in England and Wales.

    We have information about radium 223 on our website.

    Radium 223 is for people with prostate cancer who:

    • had hormone treatment that is no longer working
    • have either had or aren't suitable for docetaxel (chemotherapy drug)
    • have cancer that has spread to bones but not other organs
    • are not having treatment with abiraterone

    Do discuss this further with your team if this is something that you would like to know more about as a treatment option.

    I hope this helps,

    Best wishes,

    Vanda
