In December, NICE published final guidance recommending the removal of Tecartus for patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma from the NHS.
We submitted a joint appeal with @bloodcancer_uk and @LymphomaAction and today NICE announced they will reconsider.
Applications to the stem cell register from Black people rose by more than 1,600% after Nidahl Hamdan, 24, began sharing her mother’s battle with blood cancer on social media.
@anthonynolan called the response ‘amazing’.

Today we're pleased to share that an additional CAR-T treatment, Breyanzi (liso-cel) has been approved by @NICEComms.
This will be available in England and Wales for patients with large B-cell lymphoma, if they have relapsed or stopped responding after 2 or more prior treatments
@RhysMorganLab@NHSBT Happy 10 year donorversary! How special to know that your recipient is doing well, and knowing your work is helping many more people just like them 💚
PLEASE SHARE: #Match4Mum 🚨
Nidahl's mum was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia in January, and was told that if she reaches remission, she’ll need a stem cell transplant.

📺In yesterday's episode of @bbceastenders, Denise is diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).
Denise asks her smart speaker about outcomes, and specifically for Black people.
The smart speaker says that for people from Black backgrounds, outcomes can be poorer.
It’s crucial to increase the diversity of stem cell donors on the stem cell register, so that more people just like Denise can get the treatment they need. That’s why at Anthony Nolan we’re working hard to increase the diversity of people on the stem cell register.
