As awareness raising for cancer is not working it needs reviewing. Single issue cancer charities should accept there is a bigger picture and put aside turf considerations. The sector needs an objective – to improve the general awareness of cancer, not leave it to individual charities to battle and win for their bit of turf, so one or two cancers are everywhere and others are nowhere. This does not help the public.
