Subject: Many more women now beating early breast cancer
Written By: Philip Eno on 06/13/23 at 5:37 pm
Most women with early breast cancer now beat the disease thanks to huge improvements in treatments in recent years, a BMJ analysis has found.
Their risk of dying within five years of diagnosis is estimated to be around 5% - down from 14% in the 1990s.
Cancer Research UK says this offers "reassurance" to many women but warns more highly-trained staff are needed to meet rising demand.
A plan for NHS staffing in England has been repeatedly delayed.
Government ministers say this workforce strategy is due shortly.
