Britain Against Cancer has become an annual event at Westminster and for the last ten years has successfully brought together patients, health professionals and policy-makers to look at the impact of public policy on cancer services and research.

The APPG on Cancer is currently conducting an inquiry into cancer inequalities. Since April, the group has been gathering written and oral evidence from a wide range of stakeholders and at this year’s Britain Against Cancer Conference the inquiry report will be launched.
