Breast Cancer Campaign: Too Many Women, Still Dying From Breast Cancer
According to the Breast Cancer Campaign, thousands of women still die from breast cancer yearly — because current treatments are not always effective and in some cases fail to kill the root of the disease.
In a comprehensive review of breast cancer research published today, 56 of the UK’s most influential breast cancer experts have identified the key research gaps and priorities for the greatest potential impact on patients.
Breast cancer treatment has improved over the past few decades and led to increased survival rates and better quality of life, the report highlights. However over 44,000 women in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer each year and around 12,500 will die.
Unfortunately, not enough is known about why treatments don’t work for some patients or why breast cancer can return, sometimes many years later, says Breast Cancer Campaign.
What do you think? Is there is a significant, strong statistical basis to the above conclusions?
