A new study shows that the UK provides essential treatments, like chemotherapy and radiotherapy, to fewer cancer patients than similar countries. It also reveals that UK patients wait longer for these lifesaving treatments. Researchers studied data from over 780,000 cancer patients in the UK, Australia, Canada, and Norway. The UK was behind in providing chemotherapy and radiation therapy, especially for older patients, with wait times varying throughout the UK. Countries with higher treatment rates have better cancer survival outcomes. Medical oncology departments face challenges with these delays, affecting patient outcomes. Cancer Research UK urges the UK government to fix this problem and improve cancer care for all.

More people than ever before had potentially lifesaving NHS cancer checks, with over 100,000 diagnosed at stages one or two. Cancers at these stages are easier to treat. The NHS is working hard to raise awareness of cancer symptoms and encourage people to come forward for checks. This includes campaigns and initiatives like mobile health clinics for men. Medical oncology departments across the country are working tirelessly to diagnose and treat people with cancer
