Michelle Mitchell: One Cancer Voice Calls for a National Cancer Plan
Michelle Mitchell, Chief Executive of Cancer Research UK (CRUK), shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Today, the cancer community has come together in Westminster to call for change.
Ambassadors from more than 30 cancer charities who are part of One Cancer Voice – a coalition of the UK’s leading charities, including Cancer Research UK – have united to raise awareness of the change needed to boost cancer survival across all types of cancers.
New data shows that there will be over six million new cancer cases in England by 2040, with cases of some of the most common cancers expected to reach all-time highs. Nearly one in two of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime and everyone will be affected – whether personally, or through a loved one.
The National Cancer Plan for England could be a defining moment. If the UK Government delivers an ambitious, fully funded strategy, we could save more lives and transform cancer outcomes, propelling England from world lagging to among world leading when it comes to tackling the disease.”
