There are currently two million people living with, or having survived, cancer in the UK.

This means that there are two million reasons for the next Government to make cancer a priority. This figure is likely to increase in the future. Significant advances have been made in research, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care over the past ten years. But more progress is needed to give patients the best possible outcomes, in line with the best in Europe.

Through the Cancer: 2 million reasons campaign, cancer charities, including Beating Bowel Cancer, are calling on all political parties to commit to improving research, prevention, diagnosis , treatment and care for people affected by cancer today and in the future.

We are calling for all parties to commit to ensuring  patients have the best possible outcomes, in line with – and eventually beyond – the best countries in Europe.
