Nick Brown MP MP for Newcastle upon Tyne East
I called in to Cancer Research UK’s World Cancer Day event in Parliament, to hear about incidences of cancer and treatment statistics in Newcastle East. The Newcastle-Gateshead Clinical Commissioning Group area sees around 2,800 cancer cases each year and around 1,300 deaths. A key issue for our area is early diagnosis, which is lower than the England average, however after this referral for treatment and radiotherapy rates are higher.
