What the PBS pays

$571M in government benefit over 2024–25, across 541,136 services.

This is spend on the medicines considered for this condition, not spend on the disease. A medicine used for several conditions is counted in full under each, so figures across conditions add to more than national PBS expenditure.

MedicineGovernment benefit
aflibercept $506.1M
cetuximab $42.5M
panitumumab $12.8M
trifluridine with tipiracil $9.8M

Conditions are classified by a language model from the indication text of each submission, so an individual label here can be wrong. Consumer input is read from the document's own consumer comments section: 6 of 8 decisions since 2014 carried some. Silence means no comment reached the committee through that facility, not that nobody was affected. More on how this was built.
