soon. This news promises relief to many sufferers, many of whom have fought to get the drug on the NHS, at an estimated cost of ￡20,000 per patient a year. It is speculated that Tykerb would be far cheaper that Herceptin as it comes on to the market.

GSK's cancer business, which was till now relatively small, is likely to be transformed next year with the launch of Tykerb and other blockbuster drugs, such as the cervical cancer vaccine Cervarix and Eltrombopag that is a blood-clotting agent in the treatment of breast cancer. They are also developing a lung cancer vaccine that would stop the disease from spreading. The pharmaceutical makers have also emerged as the lead runners in the 15bn plus biding for the consumer health care arm of its US rival Pfizer, along with Johnson & Johnson, Reckitt Benckiser and Wyeth. This deal could likely transform GSK into the world's largest maker of non-prescription drugs.
