Italy leads Europe in cancer survival rates

Health

Italy's cancer survival rates are the best in Europe, a study said.

In ten years (2011-2021), cancer deaths in Italy have decreased by 15%, a better percentage than the European Union, where the decrease stopped at 12%, said the Italian Society of Medical Oncology (AIOM) in a report in collaboration with the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), CE Report quotes ANSA.

Even in the United States, overall cancer mortality has decreased by 34% from 1991 to 2022, with approximately 4.5 million deaths avoided, while there were over 268 thousand in Italy between 2007 and 2019.

Furthermore, if the United States is at the top of world cancer research, Italy is in the 'top five' of the oncology studies ranking.

But Italy must define new models, speeding up the start-up times of trials and eliminating bureaucratic obstacles, in order not to be left behind and keep up, said AIOM.
