The percentage of cancer patients facing long waits in England has almost tripled since 2017 📈 Our new research with the National Disease Registration Service found that the number of ‘long waiters’ - cancer patients waiting more than 104 days to begin treatment - has increased substantially. Read more on the report's findings, including who the 'long waiters' are and how the newly elected UK Government can deliver on its commitment to bring down cancer waiting times 👇 #CancerNews #InTheNews #CancerWaits #NHS #TurningPointForCancer

Our new analysis shows cancers caused by smoking have reached an all time high at 160 per day 📈 We're calling on the new Government to re-introduce the Tobacco and Vapes Bill in the first King’s Speech on 17 July, to ensure that smoking has no place in our future. Dr Ian Walker, our executive director of policy, says: “Raising the age of sale of tobacco products will be one of the biggest public health interventions in living memory, establishing the UK as a world-leader. It’s vital that this Bill is re-introduced at the King’s Speech, passed and implemented in full, so the impact of smoking is consigned to the history books.” Read more below, including the reasons behind these figures, and why breast cancer has been included for the first time in this kind of analysis 👇 #CancerNews #SmokefreeUK #Smoking #SmokefreeUK

You might have heard that alcohol can cause cancer, but how does this actually happen? Drinking alcohol increases the risk of cancer as it causes damage to your body, even in small amounts. This doesn’t mean that you’ll definitely get cancer, but the risk is higher the more alcohol you drink. The more you can cut down on alcohol, or the longer you are teetotal, the more you can reduce your risk.

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who campaigned for a #TurningPointForCancer in the run up to the #GeneralElection – more than 8,000 of you joined the campaign 👏 Together, you asked more than 3,000 parliamentary candidates to champion cancer survival and helped secure commitments from the new government on ensuring the next generation can never legally buy cigarettes, boosting diagnostic capacity to catch more cancers earlier, and a policy programme that commits to less lives lost to the biggest killers such as cancer. Together, we've put cancer firmly on the political agenda and we’re looking forward to working with the new government to ensure they deliver on the cancer pledges they’ve made. #LongerBetterLives #CancerManifesto
