Advance on Metastatic Cancer Treatment by the Beatson
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the advance of metastatic cancer treatment as a result of research at the Beatson Institute, which is based in Glasgow Anniesland; notes that the institute was involved in a trial that has led to the discovery that an aggressive form of radiation therapy can reportedly extend the lives of individuals with this type of cancer; recognises that the Beatson was the sole UK participant in the study, providing Scottish cancer patients with the opportunity to take part in the ground-breaking trial; commends the Beatson for its work in the field of cancer research, and wishes it continued success in the future.
