NHS Cancer Surgery Clinics
If you are currently battling cancer or are a cancer survivor, you know that everywhere you look you find endless statistics about cancer. Though there are few that help you feel more at ease, the NHS is striving for a statistic of their own; a 20% reduction of the cancer death rate in people under 75 years old. With death rates already falling, you should be able to find some peace of mind in your treatment at any of the NHS Cancer Surgery Clinics.
UK Cancer Facts
Just in case you are one of the few who haven’t taken a look at the statistics, here are a few more.
- One in three people in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime.
- One in four of the people diagnosed will die as a result of their cancer.
- Since 1995, cancer survival rates have increased by more than 11%.
- The four most common cancers are; breast cancer, lung cancer, bowel cancer, and colorectal cancer.
- The four cancers mentioned above accounted for slightly less than half of cancer related deaths
Clearly cancer is a serious issue; the numbers above only account for those in the UK—what must that mean for the rest of the world? It is the sole focus of NHS Cancer Surgery Clinics to reduce the number of lives being taken by cancer and increase the number of people with their own cancer survival story.
The Cancer Reform Strategy
With the introduction of the Cancer Reform Strategy, a clear path was set for the direction of cancer services. According to the plan, by 2012 the NHS Cancer Surgery Clinics will be offering some of the best cancer treatments available in the world.
The Cancer Reform Strategy builds on the Cancer Plan that was originally introduced in 2000 and provides even more detailed information as to what will be done for each patient in order to make their treatments more individual, more comfortable, and most importantly, more effective.
What You Can Expect From NHS Cancer Surgery Clinics
The first step in reducing the number of cancer related deaths is taking every possible measure to prevent the cancer in the first place. The NHS strives to make people aware of what is available to them as far as vaccinations and other preventative measures. Along with regular screenings and vaccinations, the dangers of smoking, obesity, and other lifestyle risks are made publicly known so that people can do everything possible to prevent cancer from ever invading their lives.
Though it is an ongoing process, NHS Cancer Surgery Clinics strive to detect cancer as early as possible by offering regular screenings to everyone. Early detection means a much greater chance of survival and few facilities offer these time consuming services.
Care and treatment tailored to you as an individual and your unique cancer. Every cancer is completely different and attempting to treat them all the same would bear few results. At NHS Cancer Surgery Clinics you can rest assured that your treatment is yours alone and that everything being done is done with your best interests in mind.
The NHS is constantly trying to find new ways to make sure a battle with cancer is one you can win. By choosing NHS Cancer Surgery Clinics you are placing your treatment in the most qualified hands and eliminating any unnecessary stress about your treatment.
