Speed of improvement in cancer survival rates ‘slowing’, say experts

The Government launched a call for evidence to help shape a national cancer plan earlier this year.

Cancer survival rates rise substantially but 'longer waits' hit progre

The chances of surviving cancer for 10 years after diagnosis has increased by more than 24% in England and Wales over nearly five decades, but researchers say progress has slowed partly because of longer waiting times. A study, led by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), suggests survival rates between the most and least deadly types of the disease are wider than ever before. Researchers examined long-term cancer trends fo…

Progress in cancer survival rates in the UK has “slowed down”, experts have warned. The news comes as a study suggests survival between the most and least deadly types of the disease is wider than ever before. A national cancer plan was “essential” to “bring cancer survival trends back towards the best in the world”, researchers said. The study, led by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and funded by Cancer Research UK, a…
