28 Apr 2015 01:08 PM

Main findings

• For 8 of the most common cancers, there was an upward trend in 1-year and 5-year survival for adults diagnosed in England between 2004 and 2008.
   
• Among the 25 Area Teams in England, the largest annual change from 2004 to 2008 in 1-year survival was for oesophageal cancer (increasing 5.5% per year) for both men in ‘Durham, Darlington and Tees’ and for women in ‘North Yorkshire and Humber’.
   
• Wide geographic differences in survival were observed. The range in 1-year survival between the 25 Area Teams was greater than 10% for cancers of the oesophagus and stomach in men, and for cancers of the oesophagus, stomach, colon and bladder in women.
