New report shows more young people surviving cancer

New report shows more young people surviving cancer A new report - 13-24 year olds with cancer in England: Incidence, mortality and survival - examines the latest trends in the incidence, mortality and five-year survival rates for cancer amongst young people. This is the first time a detailed analysis has been conducted of cancer rates of the 13 to 24-year age group and shows an encouraging increase in survival rates.

The figures, based on an analysis of young people diagnosed in England between 2001 and 2015, were extracted from Public Health England’s National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service (NCRAS). Teenage Cancer Trust
