The new National Cancer Plan for England: what it means for myeloma
UK cancer outcomes currently lag far behind other countries, with higher mortality rates, lower survival rates, a flattening of early diagnosis and years of missed performance standards. To reverse these, the new cancer plan aligns with the Government’s 10-year Health Plan’s three shifts of hospital to community, analogue to digital and treatment to prevention. We see the publication of the Cancer Plan for England as an important step towards improving outcomes for people with cancer, while also supporting the healthcare professionals who work tirelessly to care for them.
