Ahead of World Cancer Day tomorrow, we're urging people to contact their doctor if they're concerned about symptoms that may indicate cancer. Records show that cancer referrals dropped by more than 50% after the first wave of the pandemic and people put off going to their doctor.

Very disappointing to hear nothing about funding for the National Cancer Strategy in today's #Budget2024 speech. We hope for better news when we see more detail tomorrow #cancermatters

Our thoughts and condolences are with the family, friends and colleagues of Keelin Shanley. Keelin was an outstanding broadcaster and a friend of the Irish Cancer Society. Her colleague Jon Williams has paid a very moving tribute to her today.

'Keelin was the best of us, we are poorer for her loss'

Keelin achieved more in 51 years than most of us will in a lifetime, writes Managing Director of RTÉ News & Current Affairs Jon Williams.
