This is it: our chance to Catch Up With Cancer, cut waits and save lives. Will you take a minute to use this link and urge your MP to join us in Parliament on February 6 for the launch of an ambitious new Vision for Radiotherapy?

Radiotherapy is a powerful treatment that can cure cancer patients. That’s why we are campaigning for world-class radiotherapy to help solve the UK’s cancer crisis. An accelerating crisis that has seen 4 in 10 patients waiting too long for cancer treatment. Many thousands of these could benefit greatly from radiotherapy that are simply not getting it. As patients suffer, radiotherapy remains overlooked and under-resourced, and the technology that can cut waiting times and speed up treatment languishes.

Radiotherapy is a lifesaving, incredibly cost-effective treatment needed in around 50% of cancer diagnosis and in 40% of cancer cures. It is individual, personalised and can harness the newest advances in science and technology.

At the event, to mark World Cancer Day 2024, your MP can hear from, the leading minds in the fight against cancer, patients that have benefitted from radiotherapy, and learn the facts about wait times and travel times in your constituency. Please urge them to attend using this link. They will also receive a summary of the 10 year Vision for Radiotherapy, written in collaboration with the leading experts and patients from the radiotherapy community.

Thank you for your support. You can support our call for better cancer treatment by using our easy-to-use Email Your MP tool to contact your local MP asking them to attend the Parliamentary event on Tuesday 6th February.

We started the #CatchUpWithCancer Campaign to stop other families losing loved ones prematurely and needlessly to cancer. Over three years on, the Government has failed to reverse the damage of COVID on cancer care and waiting times have got worse and worse. There has never been a more important and urgent time to call on the Government to make a change. Please consider using your voice so the Government hears our message loud and clear!
