<p>The Government welcomes the Cancer Research UK report which rightly highlights
progress made against cancer. We have invested over £100 million into cancer research
in 2021/22 through the National Institute for Health and Care Research. We are working
closely with research partners in relevant all sectors and are confident the Government's
continued commitment to cancer research will help us to continue to make progress,
leading to continued improvements for cancer patients.</p><p>Cancer is being diagnosed
at an earlier stage, more often, with survival rates improving across almost all types
of cancer and the National Health Service seeing and treating record numbers of cancer
patients over the last two years.</p><p>Our Major Conditions Strategy will set out
how we will improve cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment and we have opened
135 community diagnostic centres offering over five million additional tests, including
for cancer.</p>
