WE WILL BEAT CANCER

Cancer researchers have already saved millions of lives. A British study has shown that the death rate of cancer has been reduced by 14 % since the 1970s due to diagnoses, surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy – together with the invention of new types of treatments such as immune therapy. In the case of some cancer types, including breast cancer, the survival rate has doubled since 1970, whereas among patients with intestinal cancer, it has tripled.

And the development continues. Scientists predict the death rate will be reduced by another 15 % towards 2035.
