By 2020 two-thirds of people diagnosed with cancer should still be alive after five years, say Cancer Research UK.
The goal is one of ten ambitious targets set out by the charity for the future of cancer care. It comes as figures show a patient with cancer now has a 46.2% chance of being alive ten years after diagnosis compared with 23.6% 30 years ago. The Department of Health backed the targets and said work was needed to further improve cancer prognosis. Increased survival over the past three decades can be attributed to earlier detection of cancer, greater use of specialist surgery, cancer screening programmes and advances in treatments.

It has nothing to do with patient centred care or good medicine."
