Rarer Cancers

EDM number 465 in 2007-08, proposed by Ian Gibson on 04/12/2007.

That this House notes that 30,000 people are diagnosed with a rare or less common cancer every year in the UK; congratulates the Rarer Cancers Forum on the support it provides for people with rare or less common cancers; is concerned that many GPs know little about rarer cancers and people are often diagnosed late; believes that more should be done to raise awareness of the preventable causes and observable symptoms of all cancers, including rarer types; believes that care for patients with rarer cancers is best provided in specialist centres with high quality treatment and where patient information can be provided; further believes that people with rarer cancers should have equal access to the drug treatments that they need, and is concerned that many such treatments fall outside the current threshold; notes that the Cancer Reform Strategy places a heavy emphasis on improving the treatment that people with rare and less common cancers receive; and calls on the Government to rapidly implement the recommendations of both the Cancer Reform Strategy and the Rarer Cancers Manifesto on rare and less common cancers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 77 MPs.
