As the Chair of the APPG on Less Survivable Cancers, I’m proud to support its latest report on earlier detection and faster diagnosis. Improving outcomes for these cancers depends on timely action - this report offers a clear path that I encourage the Government to take forward.

I’m proud to support the Less Survivable Cancers Taskforce APPG’s report on how the Govt can detect the deadliest cancers earlier and faster. Early detection saves lives, and should be an important part of the National Cancer Plan. I encourage the Govt to take the recommendations forward.

With a 16% five-year survival rate, cancers like brain, liver, lung, pancreatic, oesophageal & stomach are being left behind. But change is possible. Our report sets out 12 urgent recommendations to save lives, boosting research to expanding screening & cutting diagnosis delays.

Great to see the APPG Inquiry report featured in the media. Earlier detection and faster diagnosis are critical for improving people's access to treatment and ultimately their chance of survival. ITVX ⬇️itv.com/news/2025-06-0…

Thank you to Paulette Hamilton MP for her support in the delivery of the inquiry, as she mentions, this is a "crucial moment for transforming patient outcomes and accelerating survival rates for the less survivable cancers". standard.co.uk/news/science/c…

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

New report out today: Barriers to Participation in Research Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40 – yet brain tumour trials have the lowest recruitment levels of any cancer type in the UK. Why? And what must change?

The Department of Health and Social Care's announcement that the #10YearPlan will include a commitment to faster, fairer access to clinical trials is a vital step forward. It must reach people with less survivable cancers, where research has long been limited and outcomes remain poor. #CancerResearch

Big thanks to Paulette Hamilton MP, Chair of the APPG on Less Survivable Cancers, for her question following the APPG's report on earlier detection and faster diagnosis. It's great to hear the report will inform the development of the National Cancer Plan. A vital step forward.
