Access to treatment

Cancerbackup believes that the full range of cancer treatments should be available to every person living with cancer. Patients and their specialists can then make choices about what treatment is most suitable for each person.

Through our successful campaigns on postcode prescribing, tackling inequalities, and reforming the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), Cancerbackup has changed life for people living with cancer.

In 2005, we launched our landmark NICEwatch campaign, for which we were shortlisted for a campaigning award. You can read more about all of this work on these pages.
