The <em>Eatwell Guide</em> provides visual representation on national guidance of how a balanced diet looks. A copy of the <em>Eatwell Guide</em> is attached.</p><p>Supporting documentation includes the <em>Government Dietary Recommendations: Government recommendations for energy and nutrients for males and females aged 1-18 years and 19+ years</em>, which outlines the breakdown of calorie, vitamin and mineral intake for different age groups.

	tabling member printed	Lord Freyberg
	uin	HL11448
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2018 answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends molecular testing for the following cancers:</p><p>- Acute myeloid leukaemia;</p><p>- Bladder;</p><p>- Brain;</p><p>- Breast;</p><p>- Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia;</p><p>- Chronic myeloid leukaemia;</p><p>- Colorectal;</p><p>- Non-small-cell lung cancer;</p><p>- Melanoma;</p><p>- Oesophago-gastric;</p><p>- Ovarian, fallopian tube and peritoneal;</p><p>- Pancreatic;</p><p>- Prostate;</p><p>- Upper aerodigestive tract; and</p><p>- Unknown primary origin.</p><p>NICE refers to the following companion diagnostic biomarkers in its guidance:</p><p>- c-Kit (CD117);</p><p>- HER2;</p><p>- KRAS;</p><p>- EGFR-TK;</p><p>- Philadelphia chromosome;</p><p>- BRAF V600;</p><p>- ALK;</p><p>- BRCA;</p><p>- p53;</p><p>- PD-L1;</p><p>- RAS;</p><p>- BCR-ABL1;</p><p>- FLT3;</p><p>- ROS1;</p><p>- BRCA1 (germline); and</p><p>- Somatostatin receptor-positive.</p><p> </p><p>Tests that are primarily used for diagnosis, monitoring or screening often provide prognostic information. Consequently, there are a large number of biomarkers, many of which are used in standard testing practice and so are not specifically referred to in NICE guidance. Multiple and combinations of biomarkers are often used to provide prognostic information and companies developing tests often create their own combinations.</p><p>As many tests look for multiple biomarkers for a single purpose and many tests in standard practice provide prognostic information, NICE is unable to provide categorical information on prognostic tests.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 27/11/2018 15:29:48 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
