70 years ago, the connection between smoking & lung cancer was first made. Smoking rates have fallen since then but there is still more to do. We need the next UK Govt to end cancers caused by smoking. Join the campaign for a #TurningPointForCancer bit.ly/CRUKGE

Following the election results, we are looking forward to working with the new UK government to deliver on their proposals to help end the waits, drive earlier diagnosis and end cancers caused by smoking. We will be urging them to take the bold steps of committing to new age of

These data highlight why the new Government has to bring forward the tobacco and vaping bill ASAP. Tobacco remains the biggest preventable cause of cancer- and every day matters. Important to remember that behind these numbers are real people, their friends and families.

⏰NI #CancerWaitingTimes show again patients are waiting longer than they should for cancer diagnosis & treatment. 💜Cancer affects families in every constituency & must be at the forefront of the minds of all politicians. ➡️Early diagnosis & treatment = better outcomes.

The new government’s commitment to raise the age of sale for tobacco will have a hugely positive impact and takes us a step closer to a #SmokefreeUK. Smoking is the biggest preventable cause of death in the UK and is responsible for 160 cancer cases per day. This legislation will

Today we are publishing evidence from our Institutes to show the impact of changes to the UK immigration system on cancer research. We call on the new UK Government to reduce costs and review the system so it works for research - to meet their ambitions for health and growth.

Just been on the sofa BBC Breakfast following a piece about the amazing BlackinCancer. I focused on inequalities faced by black & ethnic minorities. Cancer's complicated - genetics, social factors, service access... Great to get the message out on the research we're funding.
