US v UK: The breast cancer survival stakes
An American woman's chances of developing breast cancer are slightly higher
than her British counterpart - but she is far more likely to survive.
One U.S. woman in eight can expect to have the disease at some point in her
life, compared with one in nine in Britain.
But five-year survival rates for all forms of the disease - including the
most advanced - stand at 85 per cent in the U.S and just under
74 per cent in the UK. If the cancer is caught early - at what doctors call
stage 1 - the differences in survival are even more shocking.
An American woman has a 97 per cent chance of being alive five years after
diagnosis.
In Britain, this figure is only 78 per cent.
Routine breast screening in the U.S. starts at 40 rather than 50, as in
Britain, and women are thoroughly checked every one to two years, rather
than every three years under the NHS.
Breast cancer drugs such as Herceptin, which can extend the life of women
suffering the most advanced forms of the disease, was made available in
America in 1998.
The drug costs up to £30,000 for a full 38-week course.
Shockingly, it took nearly two years before the drug was approved for NHS
use and specialists estimated that in that time, 5,000 British women who
needed it had died. | t*c
