Meg McArthur, Senior Policy & Information Officer at Breakthrough Breast Cancer said:

“This report shows that the overall one year cancer survival for all cancers is increasing over time. This is a positive trend that we would like to see continue. Specific to breast cancer more women than ever in the UK are surviving thanks to increased awareness, better screening and more effective treatments.

 We know that the earlier breast cancer is detected, the better the chances of successful treatment. That’s why we encourage all women to be breast aware and to attend their breast screening appointments.”
