On January 11th each year, the United Kingdom recognizes Less Survivable Cancers Awareness Day, focusing on lung, pancreatic, liver, brain, esophageal, and stomach cancers. With survival rates of less than 20% over five years, these cancers collectively contribute to 50% of deaths from common cancers.
Addressing this significant survival gap is crucial, aiming to enhance outcomes for these six types of cancers, which account for approximately one-fourth of all cancer cases in the UK.
Collective efforts are essential, and a meaningful impact can be made with collective efforts. Join OncoDaily in raising awareness.
