📊 Cancer survival rates are improving, but not equally.
Testicular cancer: 97% (10-year survival)
Pancreatic cancer: 4.3% — progress, but slower than others.

We need more research, faster diagnosis & stronger cancer services.

The deadly cancers left behind by 50 years of success

Half of people with cancer survive but lack of progress for some forms of disease is worrying experts.
