Breast cancer rates dropped in the United Kingdom

Recent reports released in August show that the rates of breast cancer have significantly fallen in the United Kingdom in the last few years.

This is largely down to better screening for breast cancer in the United Kingdom and earlier diagnosis with techniques such as mammograms and ultrasounds.

However, the survival rate from breast cancer in United Kingdom still lacks behind many European countries including France and Germany. This is improving but does indicate that more resources are needed for early detection and treatment of breast cancer in the United Kingdom.
