Cancer survival rates are at a record high and we are on track to save an estimated 12,000 more lives a year for people diagnosed between 2011 and 2015. However, there is more to do, and NHS England is leading the implementation of the recommendations of the Independent Cancer Taskforce to save a further 30,000 lives a year by 2020.
