Researchers looked at data of cancer diagnoses of adults aged 15-99 in England and Wales in the years 1971-72, 1980-81, 1990-91, 2000-01 and predicted for those diagnosed in 2007. The study found the average median survival time for all cancers rose from one year in the 1970s to six years now. However, the survival rates for stomach, esophageal, brain, pancreatic and lung cancers have barely improved.
