make this election

a turning point for cancer

English | Cymraeg

The next Welsh Government could help save around 5,500 lives between now and 2040.* But we need your help to call on all political parties to act.

Will you ask your candidates to meet with Cancer Research UK and help back the change needed for people affected by cancer if elected?

Your voice is powerful. In just a few clicks you can tell your candidates that this election must be a turning point for cancer in Wales.

What are Cancer Research UK calling for?*

We're asking all political parties in Wales to:

Deliver a long-term cancer strategy: When it comes to beating cancer, well supported, long-term cancer strategies are key to success. That's why we need a national cancer strategy in Wales that sets out a long-term plan for cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and research.
Support the NHS to deliver cancer services: The cancer workforce works hard to deliver cancer services for people right across Wales - however, they continue to work in increasingly challenging conditions. We must strengthen the NHS in Wales by supporting GPs and increasing capacity within the cancer workforce, making sure they’re equipped with essential kit and cutting-edge technologies. This includes improving data collection and long-term workforce planning.
Combat lung cancer: Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in Wales. With tobacco being the biggest cause of lung cancer, preventing these cancers from happening in the first place is vital. To combat lung cancer, the Welsh Government must implement the Tobacco & Vapes Bill, strengthen stop smoking services, and roll out a lung cancer screening programme across Wales..
Back research: Research is key to provide us with better cancer prevention, earlier diagnosis, and more effective treatments. The Welsh Government can support this by investing in Welsh universities and strengthening innovation to get new tests, treatments, and technologies into the healthcare system more quickly.
