Interactive map shows the areas of England where cancer patients are most likely to die in a year

Interactive map shows the areas of England where cancer patients are most likely to die in a year Figures have revealed the areas of England where people are least likely to survive for a year after being diagnosed with cancer.

Nearly a third of cancer patients diagnosed in Leicester city centre will die within a year, making it the worst performing NHS group in the country by this measure – its 12-month survival rate is 67.7 per cent.

Only 20 areas in England manage to keep three quarters of their patients alive for a year after being diagnosed, the majority of them in or around London.

Whereas the worst performing areas are mainly in the Midlands and Kent, leaving people facing a postcode lottery if they are diagnosed. The Daily Mail
