Only 16% of people diagnosed with some of the less survivable cancers survive beyond 5 years. The #RareCancersBill is a unique opportunity to tackle this and more. We are pleased to have supported this Bill throughout its journey and will continue to do so as it progresses.

As mentioned by Gregory Stafford MP, only 16% people diagnosed with some of the less survivable cancers survive beyond 5 years, in comparison to over 55% for more common cancers. The #RareCancersBill is a unique opportunity to improve survival rates.

For the 90,000 people diagnosed each year with less survivable cancers, the 10-Year Plan’s focus on early diagnosis is welcome, but success will depend on the detail. Read @paulettehamiltonmp.bsky.social's response as Chair of the APPG on Less Survivable Cancers ➡️ shorturl.at/rhP72

The focus on early diagnosis and detection in the 10-Year Health Plan for England is a welcome step. Now what we really need to see is how this will deliver for people with less survivable cancers in the National Cancer Plan.

People diagnosed with less survivable cancers face a 5 year survival rate of just 16% and late diagnosis is a key reason for this. The National Cancer Plan offers a chance to change this. The APPG sets out 12 steps to boost faster diagnosis and save lives: shorturl.at/F82fk

Rare cancers, including many less survivable cancers, make up 47% of UK cancer diagnoses but account for 55% of cancer-related deaths. The Rare Cancers Bill presents a unique opportunity to address the chronic underfunding and lack of research into rare cancers. #RareCancersBill
