Cancer patients will need radiotherapy treatments, yet in the UK only about 35% actually receive it.

The Daily Express campaign for investment in radiotherapy is right to push for a change.

“Cancer patients must be able to get the treatment they need, when they need it. I’m very grateful to the Express and its readers for standing up and pushing for better access to radiotherapy.”

Charity Young Lives vs Cancer has campaigned for a dedicated travel fund for children and young people with cancer who need to travel for specialist treatment.
