In political fanfare today we can't forget how many people want this GE to be a #TurningPointForCancer
Some positive commitments from Labour across cancer research and care and @CRUK_Policy stand ready to work with the new government to make good on them in the coming Parliament
We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who campaigned for a #TurningPointForCancer in the run up to #UKElection2024 – more than 8,000 of you joined the campaign 👏

A statement from Chief Executive of Cancer Research UK, Michelle Mitchell:
“On behalf of everyone at Cancer Research UK, I wish Her Royal Highness a full, swift recovery and return to good health. During this difficult time, it’s important that the Princess is given the time and space to focus on her treatment and that we respect the family’s privacy.
“Nearly one in two of us will develop cancer during our lifetimes, but many more are affected when someone they love is diagnosed with cancer. Thanks to research there is hope - cancer survival has doubled in the last 50 years.
“High profile cancer cases often act as a prompt to encourage people to find out more or think about their own health. If people spot something that's not normal for them or isn't going away, they should check with their GP. It probably won't be cancer. But if it is, spotting it at an early stage means treatment is more likely to be successful.”
