LONDON: A novel breast cancer treatment that takes just five minutes instead of the current two-and-a-half hours has been launched across the UK by the National Health Service (NHS) England.
The injection called Phesgo will be offered to eligible patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, undergoing chemotherapy. It takes as little as five minutes to prepare and administer, compared with two infusions that can take up to two-and-a-half hours.

WHITE PAPER: What s missing in women s health?
In July of last year, amidst stories in the press around HRT and contraception shortages, endometriosis going undiagnosed and unsafe medical devices being offered to women, we wrote an edition of MAGNIFI investigating the common theme between these stories – women were being let down when it came to their healthcare. Now, in 2021 for endometriosis awareness month, we are resharing this article and again asking the question: ‘what’s missing in women’s health?’
This white paper was initially published on the 9th July 2020, while the broader themes are still relevant, information on HRT stock issues may no longer apply.
