More than 60,000 patients 'not getting necessary radiotherapy'
The Guardian
|October 04, 2025
More than 60,000 cancer patients a year are not getting the radiotherapy they need at all, while some patients are waiting up to six months to begin the treatment, according to research.
Nearly 100 heads of radiotherapy and oncology - three-quarters of England’s radiotherapy leaders - have warned in an open letter that the government is failing patients.
International experts agree that more than half (53%) of all cancer patients will need radiotherapy, but in England only 35% actually receive the treatment. According to exclusive analysis of the latest NHS data by Radiotherapy UK, 181,023 patients should get radiotherapy but only 120,569 did, leaving 60,455 cancer patients a year in England who are not getting any radiotherapy cancer treatment at all.

Saka's stunner caps sparkling first-half display in England stroll
