“The fact that over a million lives have been saved from cancer in this time reflects the power of research. Discoveries into more effective and kinder treatments, improvements to screening programmes, and strategies to help detect and prevent cancer have all been essential to this.” Since the mid-1980s, UK cancer death rates have fallen by about a quarter. If the rates had stayed the same 1.2 million more lives would have been lost to cancer, the study showed.
