7 OUT OF 10 PROSTATE CANCER CAMPAIGN

That this House welcomes the launch of the 7 out of 10 campaign to raise awareness of the variations in treatment of prostate cancer patients; notes with particular concern that 7 out of 10 men with metastatic hormone refractory prostate cancer are missing the opportunity to receive chemotherapy; further notes that prostate cancer is the commonest male cancer, killing 10,000 men every year; believes eligible men should be given access to chemotherapy where appropriate; and calls on the Government to ensure ideal patient pathways are locally implemented as recommended in the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence prostate cancer guidelines published in 2008, first, to ensure that multi-disciplinary team meetings occur at appropriate times and second, to ensure patients are referred to oncologists at the first opportunity.
