A TWO-PART documentary attempts to explain why survival rates for cancer in Britain are still worse than in most other countries in Western Europe.
Leading experts reveal that we are lagging behind other European countries, and have done for 20 years, despite huge scientific advances in radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Presenter Penny Marshall explores whether this year’s cancer reform strategy, announced by the Government, will address the gaps, and if low survival rates in the UK could be linked to late diagnosis.
