The Irish Cancer Society are urging the public to take part in Daffodil Day today to support them in “race against time”.
The Irish Cancer Society wants Daffodil Day to be a reminder of the urgency to catch up on the detection of thousands of cancers remaining undiagnosed since the start of the pandemic.
It comes as an estimated 2,600 cancer diagnoses were missed in 2020 alone due to the Covid pandemic and catch up remains difficult due to demands on the health service.
