Rare Cancers Bill has now passed through the House of Commons! 
What the Bill wants to achieve for rare cancers. 
1. Governmental lead for research. 
2. Improve clinical trial access. 
3. Incentivise research.

Rare Cancers Bill has now passed through the House of Commons! What the Bill wants to achieve for rare cancers. 1. Governmental lead for research. 2. Improve clinical trial access. 3. Incentivise research.

We are so pleased that the Rare Cancers Bill passed its 3rd Reading in the House of Commons on Friday.

This Bill could mark a significant step forward in addressing the urgent need for increased focus and research in the field of rare cancers.
