Less Survivable Cancers Awareness Day

Lodged by Paul Sweeney (Scottish Labour) Standard Motion 38 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises Less Survivable Cancers (LSC) Awareness Day, taking place on 11 January 2024; acknowledges that LSC Awareness Day raises awareness of the six less survivable cancers, which are brain, stomach, oesophagus, lung, liver and pancreatic cancers; understands that 9,000 people are diagnosed with these cancers in Scotland every year, and that, tragically, only 16% of people diagnosed will survive for five years, and calls for more action to improve the survival rates of people diagnosed with less survivable cancers.
