研究显示,自1970年代以来,英国癌症死亡率下降了22%,但诊断率上升了50%。 UK cancer death rates fell 22% since 1970s, but diagnoses rose 50%, study shows.

自1970年代初以来,英国的癌症死亡率下降了22%,但癌症诊断却增加了近50%。 Cancer death rates in the UK have dropped by 22% since the early 1970s, but cancer diagnoses have risen by almost 50%. 诊断、治疗和反吸烟努力的改进促使死亡人数下降。 Improvements in diagnosis, treatment, and anti-smoking efforts have contributed to the decline in deaths. 然而,在过去十年中,进展放缓,存活率仍然低于可比国家。 However, progress has slowed in the last decade, and survival rates remain lower than in comparable countries. 英国癌症研究组织呼吁更快地进行诊断,特别是对存活能力较差的癌症进行诊断,并更快地获得诊断检测和全科医生治疗。 Cancer Research UK calls for faster diagnosis, especially for less survivable cancers, and quicker access to diagnostic tests and GPs.
