Cancer deaths in middle-aged adults have fallen by a third in the UK since 1993, despite cases of cancer rising.

​

That’s according to a Cancer Research UK study, which showed that mortality rates had dropped by 37% in men and by 33% in women in the UK. The biggest fall was recorded for cervical cancer, with death rates plummeting by 54.3% thanks to improved screening. The HPV vaccination will further reduce cases, Cancer Research UK said.
