What is the cost of Lutetium 177 in the UK?

Hi

Asked our OC that last week, he said including the PSMA scan, about £110,000. for the course of six treatments. I suppose it will vary in price. But its a lot of money, which I would gladly pay if it worked for my Husband.

Not quite at that point yet, but yes , not cheap is it !

It works well for a third of men, moderately for a third, and dosn't work at all for a third apparently! Thats what I've read on various sites.

Too much of a gamble unless you have millions.
