Petition Action

Essential For 3yr MRI Scans For Brain Tumours Detection

Additional Information

The government must take action, NOW, to IMPROVE people’s quality of life and improve brain tumour diagnosis by integrating guidance on identifying the symptoms and patient referral into General Practice and Emergency Medicine Practice guidelines.

Essential to have a 3yr MRI Scan for Brain Tumours (Like cervical/prostrate screening)

Increase the proportion of cancer research spending on brain tumours beyond its current 0.7%

FACTS

65% more women die from a brain tumour than from cervical cancer.

Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of UK children .

16,000 people each year in the UK are diagnosed with a brain tumour.

More people under 40 die of a brain tumour than from any other cancer.

Only 14% of those diagnosed with a brain tumour survive beyond 5 years (compared with 50% for all cancers), 25% of all cancers spread to the brain

THIS PETITION THEREFORE CALLS ON THE GOVERMENT TO HAVE 3YR MRI SCANS FOR BRAIN TUMOURS DETECTION!
