The number of diagnosed cancer cases is growing. Over 360,000 people in the UK have been diagnosed with cancer within the last two years, at an average of more than 800 new cases a day.
Early diagnosis is essential for treating cancer. Cancer survival rates are improving and have doubled in the last forty years, with half of patients diagnosed with the 12 most common cancers surviving for ten years or more.
