British scientists who conducted research over a long period of time found that people with cancer can survive for more than ten years..

So, according to the National Statistics Office of Great Britain, 89% of those who found out about their disease, with timely diagnosis and treatment, could live another ten years.

Scientists have also been able to establish that skin cancer sufferers are most likely to last another ten years with this diagnosis.. At least this fact is recorded in nine out of ten cases..

In turn, eight out of ten women with breast cancer have every chance of living the same period.. Similar indicators were shown by patients with prostate cancer.. But people with pancreatic oncology (about 6%), lungs (about 10%) and brain (about 12%) can hardly extend their life much.

However, scientists note that over the past 40 years, the survival rate of people with cancer has doubled. According to researchers, 8 out of 10 patients suffering from certain types of oncology fully recover.

The authors of the work are confident that the timely detection of the disease and its treatment will help extend the life of people who have been given a disappointing diagnosis..
