NHS cancer treatment is to get a £6m cash injection under new measures announced by the health secretary, Jeremy Hunt.
The investment will be used to fund clinical trials over the next five years for a specialist new radiotherapy, as Hunt reiterated the government's pledge to "aim high" to beat the disease.
Hunt said: "I want this country to stay at the forefront of the latest developments in cancer treatment, which is why I am delighted to announce that NHS England will be providing funding for the NHS costs of forthcoming CRUK clinical trials of a very specialist new radiotherapy.
