In 2013, 280,000 new diagnoses in the UK 80,000 additional cases in 2030 Incidence of cancer is increasing by approx 1.7% per year
More than one in four deaths (29%) were caused by cancer in the UK in combined/#Cancer4http:// combined/#Cancer4. Original Data Sources: Office for National Statistics * Except males aged Cancer is the leading cause of death from illness in every age group
Cancer survival If England’s cancer survival rates were the same as the European average, 5,000 lives would be saved every year and 10,000 if England was same as best in Europe.
Why do you think survival is lower in the UK?
Does stage of diagnosis have an effect on survival?
