UK breast cancer progress 'stalling' as NHS continues to miss opportunities to prevent more deaths, landmark new report finds Progress on breast cancer in the UK is “stalling” as a lack of leadership continues to prevent research breakthroughs from reaching patients and see the NHS miss clear opportunities to save lives, a major new report by leading charity Breast Cancer Now has found.

Amid unprecedented financial pressures for the NHS, the charity’s landmark ‘Good Enough? Breast cancer in the UK’report assesses the most up-to-date UK data to investigate the current state of play for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease on the NHS in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The full report outlines 18 key recommendations for immediate action needed across the UK – by October 2018 – to improve the management of breast cancer on the NHS.
