A leading cancer charity has said cancer deaths will plummet by 400,000 over the next 20 years, thanks to advances in research.
According to figures released by Cancer Research UK, the decrease – which equates to a 15% drop in the overall cancer death rate – is largely due to improvements in detection, diagnosis and treatments.
For every 100,000 people in the UK, 331 died from cancer in 2014. But by 2035 this number is predicted to drop to 280 per 100,000 people.
