The Cancer Call for Evidence, launched in February to inform our 10-Year Cancer Plan, has now closed and responses are being analysed alongside wider evidence. The Plan will be a new vision for how we will lead the world in cancer care. We will be taking a long-term look at how we harness innovation and what we want the patient experience to look like in 2032, with ambitious plans for action in several different areas, including the treatments provided to patients.
