Most People Diagnosed With Cancer In England In Recent Years Are Surviving For Longer.

more people were surviving cancer then ever before "thanks to better treatments, earlier diagnosis and greater awareness". "But the story's not so positive for all types of cancer," he said. "Lung, pancreatic, oesophageal cancer and brain tumours still have relatively low survival rates, partly because they tend to be diagnosed at a later stage when they're much harder to treat." He added: "We're working to beat all cancers sooner, increasing our research into cancers with lower survival rates and boosting our investment to help diagnose cancer earlier - accelerating progress to save more lives." http://www.bbc.com/news/health-29832237
