Mark Lawler shared a post by The Lancet Oncology on X, adding:
“Time to defuse the ticking time bomb! Lets reinstate a national cancer plan and reinvigorate our cancer research UK-wide. Let’s use evidence, not opinion in the key decisions that are critical for our citizens We want to be leaders, not laggers.”
Quoting The Lancet Oncology’s post:
“UK cancer care ‘lags behind’ other countries as experts highlight ‘ticking time bomb’.”
