Mr Javid will draw the battle lines today as he has pledged to invest in potential new treatments including coronavirus-style vaccines for cancer. In a speech introducing the proposals at the Francis Crick Institute, the health secretary will announce a call for evidence on a new 10-year Government plan to improve the countrys cancer care.<\/p>\n
Mr Javid will also promise to make the UKs cancer care system \"the best in Europe\".<\/p>\n
Mr Javid will announce the use of revolutionary technologies like artificial intelligence to diagnose the disease and clear the massive backlog of cases created due to Covid-19.<\/p>\n
While treatment of cancer cases continued at about 94 percent of pre-pandemic levels, there were almost 50,000 fewer cancer diagnoses across the UK between March 2020 and November last year.<\/p>\n
Mr Javid will say: Let this be the day when we declare a national war on cancer. We have published the call for evidence for a new ten-year cancer plan for England, a searching new vision for how we will lead the world in cancer care.<\/p>\n
This plan will show how we are learning the lessons from the pandemic, and apply them to improving cancer services over the next decade.<\/p>\n
It will take a far-reaching look at how we want cancer care to be in 2032 10 years from now. Looking at all stages, from prevention to diagnosis, to treatment and vaccines.<\/p>\n
We want to hear views from far and wide to help us shape this work. Please join us in this effort, so fewer people face the heartache of losing a loved one to this wretched disease.<\/p>\n
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said this 10-year plan would prioritise boosting the cancer workforce and increasing research into technologies which help to detect the disease in its early stage.<\/p>\n

Minister for primary care Maria Caulfield said: Half of us will have cancer at some point in our lives, and many more will have to support someone close to them who has it.<\/p>\n
We want to have the best cancer care in Europe and this call to evidence will help us develop a plan to achieve this.<\/p>\n
We want to hear from you cancer patients, relatives and NHS staff to see how we can best move forward to deliver better care and treatment.<\/p>\n
