According to figures from Cancer Research UK, 2 in 4 people in Scotland now survive their cancer for 10 years or more.

Martyn Day, Shadow SNP Spokesperson for health and social care, said: “Cancer impacts so many lives directly and indirectly, and we will all have been touched by cancer in some way or another. Early diagnosis is one of the main reasons why more people are surviving cancer than ever before. It’s imperative that you contact your GP straight away if you’re worried about cancer.
