Three quarters of cancer patients will survive for 10 YEARS within the next decade, experts predict
Three quarters of cancer patients will survive for at least ten years after diagnosis within the next decade, experts predict.
They have hailed 'fantastic changes in survival rates' in recent years which are set to accelerate even further.
This is down to new techniques to diagnose cancer which are enabling many more tumours to be detected at an early stage, when they can be removed.
At the same time, revolutionary procedures and drugs mean that patients whose cancers were once deemed terminal are now expected to live for ten or 20 years.
Leading researchers told the world's largest cancer conference that by 2027, three quarters of patients in the UK and US could expect to live for at least a decade.
