Cancer survival in England 

This new statistical bulletin, produced jointly by ONS and PHE, brings three national level cancer survival estimates together for the first time; adult, stage at diagnosis and childhood, with patients followed up to 2016.  

It shows cancer survival for adults and children has generally continued to improve:

  • 1-year survival was highest for melanoma of the skin in both men (97.1%) and women (98.5%) and 5-year survival was highest for testicular cancer in men (95.9%) and melanoma of the skin in women (93.9%)
  • In England, adults diagnosed with late cancer (stage 4), which has already spread to other parts of the body have lower 1-year survival compared to those diagnosed in the earliest stage (stage 1). The lowest survival is in lung cancer with men (17.1%) and women (21.6%).
  • Adults diagnosed with melanoma of the skin, prostate and breast cancer (women only) in the earliest stage (stage 1) now have 1-year survival that is comparable to the general population of the same age who do not have a cancer diagnosis.
  • The general trend of increasing 5-year survival for all childhood cancers combined has continued for children (0 - 14 years), from 67.2% for those diagnosed in 1990 to 85.1% predicted for those children diagnosed in 2016. A similar increasing trend has been observed for 10-year survival.
