Also featured in the article are – Myeloma UK, Cancer Research UK, Rarer Cancers Foundation, GIST, Cancer52 – and many more are listed.
Cancer52 helped to set up this interview – this organisation got its name because 52 per cent (recent statistics show an increase to 53%) of UK cancer deaths are from the less common cancers.
Despite this, the less common cancers remain severely under represented and under-funded across all areas, including policy, services and research.
Cancer52 is an alliance of more than 50 organisations working to address this inequality and improve outcomes for patients with these highly challenging diseases. MDS UK is a member of Cancer52.
