Sarcoma Awareness Month 2025

Early day motion 1572, tabled 30 June 2025 by Jim Shannon (DUP). Signed by 10 members.

That this House marks Sarcoma Awareness Month 2025, celebrated in July, which raises awareness about Sarcoma, a rare type of cancer that develops in soft bones and tissues; notes the theme of this year's awareness is early diagnosis and educating the public on the most common of symptoms and the life of people dealing with the impacts it can have; highlights that approximately 5,300 people are diagnosed with Sarcoma in the UK each year, making up 2% of all cancers diagnosed in the UK each year; underlines that Sarcoma is often referred to as the loneliest cancer because it has over 100 different subtypes and people with it often never meet someone with the same subtype; thanks Sarcoma UK and other charities for their work in ensuring support is available for people diagnosed with sarcoma; and encourages the Government to ensure that it delivers high-quality care for people with sarcoma in the future.
