Improved Chances

The BBC are doing a story today about survival and cancer. In fact it is their theme all this week.

The Web article is HERE

There are no league tables here but you can imagine that developing some cancers are better than getting others. You may think bladder cancer is a bit eye watering with what they have to do to get in and out but, the treatments available are well proven and the prognosis is generally pretty good. Certainly the 5 year figures are good. Of course, the other problems that mess up the figures are when was the cancer diagnosed and at what stage was it.

Anyway, it was an interesting article and bit on the TV today.
