Our Priorities and Programmes
Almost 20,000 people in the Humber, Coast and Vale are diagnosed with cancer each year; a rate significantly higher than the England average. Our plan seeks to improve cancer survival rates by ensuring more people are diagnosed at an earlier stage by improving awareness and uptake of screening.
Around 53,000 people in the Humber, Coast and Vale region are currently living with or beyond cancer. We are working together to improve the care and support people with cancer receive to enable them to be more in control and better able to cope with their treatment and recovery.
