CANCER knocks an average of 14 years off life, a study has found.<\/p>\n
Despite survival rates improving, patients still lose 2.2million years to tumours annually, Cancer Research UK said.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
That\u2019s a fall of 15 per cent per person since the late 1980s.<\/p>\n
But the overall total is up because there\u2019s been a rise in cases.<\/p>\n
There are 375,000 new cancers diagnosed every year.<\/p>\n
Around 167,000 die.<\/p>\n
