Brain: Tumours
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to improve the treatments available for brain tumours in west London.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
The Government has invested in new lifesaving and life-improving research, supporting those diagnosed and living with brain tumours. In September 2024, the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) announced new research funding opportunities for brain cancer research, spanning both adult and paediatric populations. This includes a national NIHR Brain Tumour Research Consortium, to ensure the most promising research opportunities are made available to adult and child patients.
The National Cancer Plan will include further details on how we will improve outcomes, including treatment options, for all cancer patients including those with brain tumours.
