Pink graphic with black and white text which reads 'What does the new National Cancer Plan for England mean for people affected by cancer?'

After years of campaigning, we’re pleased the government has today launched its National Cancer Plan for England.

We need the government to follow through on these promises to make sure that it can meet its ambition to save more lives from cancer.

The Less Survivable Cancers Taskforce warmly welcomes the publication of the National Cancer Plan and the ambition it sets out to transform cancer outcomes in England.

The National Cancer Plan includes proposals on #LungCancer screening, diagnostics, workforce and survivorship - offering real potential if implemented consistently & backed by resources.

The stats are clear. We're calling for change. It's time to close #CloseTheResearchGap.

It's time to #CloseTheResearchGap.

We're on a mission with the support of MPs from across the country to close the research gap and improve the survivability of the least survivable cancers.

Our latest podcast is with @uklungcancer.bsky.social and discusses their recent conference looking at what's next. With @tnewsomdavis.bsky.social Emma O'Dowd David Gilligan. #LCSM #LungCancer
Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or Amazon Music (search 'BTOG') or our website www.btog.org/btog-podcasts/

Today, we’re calling on the UK #LungCancer community to join us in making our new survival ambition a reality.

35 by 35: by 3035 we want 35% of people with lung cancer still alive 5 years after diagnosis.

#LungCancer

Last week lung cancer survival rates hit the news www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We’ve made huge strides in #LungCancer survival - but mustn’t relent! We need 100% funding for full roll-out of #screening in England by 2030 & embedded UK-wide to boost early detection & improve 5 and 10-year survival.

Lung cancer screening for smokers and former smokers in Wales Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in Wales but symptoms usually appear late.

This is fantastic news! 🗞️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Well done to all the teams in Wales who’ve been pushing for this. Result of concerted pressure from charities and clinicians pointing to evidence and progress of the national #LungCancerScreening programme in England.

Why the lung cancer screening roll out must not be derailed by the NHSE abolition

Together with our #LungCancer colleagues we have engaged with @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social to ensure a fully funded roll-out of the targeted national #LungCancerScreening programme by March 2030 is included in the National Cancer Plan 2025 & remains on track.

Blog ▶️ www.uklcc.org.uk/blog/april-2...

Check out our blog on the NCLA State of the Nation 2025 report.

While progress in early diagnosis and survival is clear, growing pressures on treatment pathways and persistent inequalities risk slowing further advances.

Authored by by Dr Lauren Dixon ▶️ uklcc.org.uk/blog/april-2...

The time from taking a #LungCancer biopsy to reporting pathology and genomics test results should take no longer than 14 days.

Yet, sadly, this is often not the case.

Our report sets out how to make it happen ▶️ uklcc.org.uk/our-reports

#GenomicTesting

Less than two-thirds (60%) of genomic tests in England are delivered on time, according to a recent review.
Help us achieve faster #GenomicTesting and save more lives from #LungCancer.
