Charity highlights 'worrying' failure to improve cancer survival in England Macmillan says figures especially disappointing given that UK already lags behind other countries
Survival rates for many cancers, including three of the most common – breast, colon and prostate cancers – have plateaued over the past decade, official figures for England show.
The proportion of adults who survived for one year or five years respectively after being diagnosed with cancer in the four-year period 2013-2017 showed little change from levels in 2008-2012. For bladder cancer, the five-year survival rate apparently deteriorated. The Guardian
