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
Figures suggest half of Brits will get a tumour at some point in their life.<\/p>\n Lung, bowel and breast cancers account for nearly one million lost lives as they\u2019re the most common.<\/p>\n Most likely to kill young, but in lower numbers, are testicular and cervical tumours.<\/p>\n CRUK is developing a \u201cManifesto for Cancer Research\u201d to boost government efforts to beat the disease.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The charity praised Prime Minister Rishi Sunak\u2019s plan to outlaw smoking with an increasing age limit.<\/p>\n Dr Judith Offman, of Queen Mary University of London, said: \u201cMeasuring years of life lost over a 30-year period provides a lens to evaluate where health policies and treatment have worked and highlight areas where more needs to be done.\u201d<\/p>\n Michelle Mitchell, chief of CRUK, said: \u201cCancer must be top of the agenda for government.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/picture>'HELP MY MOM' <\/span><\/p>\n
