Today, we're in Parliament to deliver a message… Lung cancer is not fixed because screening is being implemented.

We're asking MPs to pledge their commitment to lung cancer and work with us to improve early detection within their constituencies.

Thousands of pounds have been donated in memory of former government minister James Brokenshire.

His family set up a fundraising page for Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation. CEO Paula Chadwick says non-smokers can still get lung cancer.

We are deeply saddened to hear that James Brokenshire has passed away.

After his initial diagnosis in 2018, James helped to shine a much-needed spotlight on lung cancer, holding a debate in Parliament to call for a national lung cancer screening programme:

I watched an episode of BBC Holby City last night for the first time (!) it’s not like any hospital 🏥 that I have ever worked in. Those office’s WOW 😮. Was thinking of applying there but hear they’re closing. Perhaps an overspend on furniture 🪑?!

So very saddened to hear that Tom Haswell has passed away. Tom was a wonderful patient advocate, a keen supporter of UK research and a true gentleman. Tom - we learnt so much from you. RIP

It’s so important that we recognise that lung cancer symptoms can be confused with COVID. For those with symptoms contact their GP if you have a negative COVID-19 test then get referred. ⁦Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation theguardian.com/society/2020/o…

All donned up for a regular lung cancer EBUS list. Vital that we keep routine cancer services running during Covid-19. Important to remember that the background incidence of cancer continues unchecked. Allanah Barker Royal Papworth Hospital NHS FT 💙

Great RT symposium just finished. Highlights the huge discrepancy between what we think & want to do Alex Louie MD, PhD The Christie NHS and what actually happens in the UK @RCP_NLCA Many people with not getting the treatment they need.
