The charity claims that advancements in research have saved about thousands of lives.? It suggested that nearly 520,000 patients have benefitted from the improved research and treatments.
Further, it said that the number of people losing lives from cancer was increasing in 1980s.? At those times, more numbers of people were dying from tobacco related illness and screening for the condition was also not widespread.

Survival rate now has improved in wake of improved drugs for diseases like leukaemia, said Professor Michael Olson, a Scientist at the Cancer Research UK Beatson Institute in Glasgow.
