Comment on Choosing the best Cancer Treatment Centres by Bob Davidson

As highlighted in the latest reports, due to late diagnosis, up to 10,000 people in the UK every year die of cancer unnecessarily. Earlier detection of symptoms could save between 5,000 and 10,000 lives a year in England. An article published in the British Journal of Cancer this week (on Thursday 3rd December) highlights the work of the Improvement Foundation which addresses delays by encouraging patients to report their symptoms early, and general practices to refer to cancer specialists promptly and appropriately.

The Improvement Foundation programme, working with the Department of Health, focuses on breast, bowel and lung cancer, three of the most common cancers, responsible for 40% of all cancer deaths. This programme aims at galvanising local communities to recognise early symptoms and encourages them to visit a doctor to have the symptom checked.
