Terrible disease !

Cancer !

Cancer Research UK and Macmillan Cancer Support welcome the Government's response to the National Data Guardian Review. We are pleased there is recognition that the Cancer Registry should have a system that allows population wide, high quality data collection. We believe that cancer registration is best served by a system that supports people to make an informed choice about data relating to their cancer diagnosis once it has become relevant to them.

The vital data collected by the cancer registries tells us how many people are diagnosed with cancer, what treatments they have, how long they live and whether this is getting better or worse. This information can then be used to help plan cancer services and identify where further progress is needed in order to improve the lives of all people affected by cancer.
