UK's cancer failings 'cost 10,000 lives every year' despite billions of pounds in extra spending | Mail Online

UK's cancer failings 'cost 10,000 lives every year' despite billions of pounds in extra spending | Mail Online: "Cancer survival rates in Britain still rank amongst the lowest in Europe despite billions of pounds of extra spending, a damning report says today.

The report by MPs says up to 10,000 lives could be saved every year if the diagnosis and treatment improved to levels seen in France, Germany and Scandinavia."
