Cancer charities are warning of uncertainty over future access to life-extending drugs when a dedicated fund ends next year.
The government's ?650m Cancer Drugs Fund has paid for treatment for some 28,000 patients in England since 2010.
But it will end in 2014, and cancer charities are calling for clarity about what will replace it.
The Department of Health said it would "make sure arrangements were in place" to replace the fund.
