Latest figures show that 50 per cent of all cancer patients now survive at least 10 years.

Because of the difficult decisions which the coalition government has made on public spending, it has been possible to protect spending on the NHS and create a Cancer Drugs Fund which is helping tens of thousands of people get lifesaving cancer treatment.

Through the fund, we are making £1 billion available to help thousands of patients access cancer drugs recommended by their doctors. So far over 44,000 patients have benefited from this.

As this latest research shows, we have seen significant improvements in some cancer survival rates, with new and innovative research and earlier diagnosis at the heart of this upward trend. We share Cancer Research UK’s aspirations for the UK to be the best place in the world to survive cancer
