@NOCA_NATCAN With a new Cancer Plan for England due this year, urgent action is needed: faster diagnosis, guaranteed access to surgery and chemotherapy, and an end to postcode lotteries. Read the @NOCA_NATCAN report 👉 https://t.co/v1pyau2UTm (3/3)

4 in 10 women are only diagnosed following an emergency hospital admission. In England, 1 in 4 wait >9 months for treatment; in Wales, it’s 1 in 5. Behind every statistic is a woman and her family facing a devastating diagnosis - and they deserve better. @NOCA_NATCAN (2/3)

The new National Ovarian Cancer Audit State of the Nation report, published today, is clear: ovarian cancer care is falling short. Too many women face late diagnosis, long waits for treatment, and postcode lotteries persist. @NOCA_NATCAN (1/3)

🚨 Almost half of women in the UK wrongly believe #cervicalscreening detects #ovariancancer. England has updated its screening info to make this clear - but Wales, Scotland & NI haven’t yet. And in England, we need to go further... 📢 Will you help make it happen? (1/2)
