£70m funding for radiotherapy

Positive Steps, But More Work to Be Done in the Fight Against Head & Neck Cancer

The recent announcement of £70m in government funding for modern radiotherapy is welcome news, particularly for head and neck cancer patients who need faster access to cutting-edge treatments. This investment will help improve radiotherapy equipment and reduce waiting times – both crucial steps in the right direction.

More to do

However, while this £70million in new funding for radiotherapy is good news, there’s still much more to be done to tackle the growing head and neck cancer crisis. Early diagnosis, comprehensive support, and continued research are vital to improve outcomes for patients. At Oracle Head & Neck Cancer UK, we are committed to pushing for further advancements and raising awareness of the urgent challenges we face in combating this devastating disease.

We need sustained action, increased investment in research, and faster pathways to the best possible care for all those affected.

If you’re affected by head and neck cancer or worried about a symptom

Head and neck cancers often go unnoticed, largely because many people are unaware of the signs and symptoms. At Oracle, we urge everyone to take a moment to perform a simple self-check. It could save your life. Visit headneckcheck.com to learn how. If you notice anything unusual, don’t hesitate to consult a healthcare professional.

Additionally, HPV vaccination plays a crucial role in reducing the risk of certain types of head and neck cancers. By protecting yourself, you’re taking an essential step in reducing your risk.
