The family of the late Dame Deborah James, who passed away from bowel cancer in 2022, has issued a plea to political parties in the United Kingdom to prioritize a long-term cancer strategy. In a heartfelt letter published in The Sun, James’ family expressed their belief that early diagnosis and reduced inequalities in access to treatment are crucial for giving cancer patients more time with their loved ones. They emphasized the importance of increasing the NHS cancer workforce and investing in vital diagnosis equipment to ensure timely and accurate testing for all those in need.
