Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is one of the most aggressive and devastating forms of brain cancer, yet treatment options remain limited. Tumour Treating Fields (TTF) offer a promising, non-invasive therapy that has been proven to extend survival and improve quality of life for patients in many countries. However, access to this treatment in the UK is still restricted.
By reaching out to your local MP, you can help change that. We’ve made it easy - simply copy and paste the pre-written letter below, personalise it if you wish and send it to your MP to express your support for expanding access to TTF as a treatment option.

Dear [MP's Name],
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to you today as a concerned constituent regarding the urgent need for expanded access to Optune - Tumour Treating Fields (TTF) as a treatment option for patients with Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) in the UK.
Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer and its prognosis remains poor, with limited treatment options available. Tumour Treating Fields have shown promising results in clinical trials and are already being used in many countries, offering patients a new hope in their battle against this devastating disease. However, despite the evidence supporting its effectiveness, TTF is not yet widely available to patients in the UK.
This has two implications:
1. Patients are being denied access to a treatment that has been shown to improve survival
2. The UK has become a less attractive place to conduct clinical trials, as patients do not have access to what is now regarded as standard-of-care
I urge you to advocate for the inclusion of TTF in the standard treatment options available to GBM patients. Expanding access to this treatment could offer life-changing benefits to those suffering from GBM and their families.
As a constituent who cares deeply about the welfare of our community, I kindly request that you raise this issue with the appropriate health authorities and support efforts to make Tumour Treating Fields available in the UK as soon as possible.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and hope that you will lend your support to this critical cause.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
