(Lab/Co-op):...Across many types of different diseases and
disease groups, the importance of clinical trials to finding cures
is obvious. Let us take cancer. Cancer Research UK
is currently supporting the international BEACON clinical
trial, the first ever randomised clinical trial to treat children
with first relapsed Neuroblastoma across Europe. This rare form

improvements in treatment owing to scientific research, meaning
global survival rates are higher than ever. We should be proud that
the UK is considered the leader in clinical trials, ensuring that
the most innovative treatments are available to UK patients. We
need to continue to hold that enviable global position.
