Germany finally approved Optune under their national health system.
I thought the USA was slow - Medicare approved it last year - about 4 years after it was approved for newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
It is troubling that there is such a delay between FDA approval and insurance payment approval. The same thing happened with Temodar and Avastin. In the USA, the Medicare approval process should start at the same time as the application to the FDA so the FDA and Medicare approvals come out at the same time.
