The deadly cancers left behind by 50 years of success
The number of people surviving cancer has improved hugely in the past 50 years, but experts warn progress has been uneven with some of the cancers with the worst survival rates falling further some, including melanoma skin cancer, 10-year survival is now above 90%, while for all cancers, half of patients can expect to live that long - double the figure in the early a study by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine said there had been little improvement in those affecting the oesophagus, stomach and lungs - and less than 5% survive pancreatic cancer for 10 government said it was committed to making more progress with a new strategy due soon. The researchers said advances in treatment and earlier detection were behind the improvements in survival seen for many cancer is a perfect example of this, with 10-year survival rates rising from 42% to more than 76% between 1971 and 2018 in England and period saw the introduction of an NHS breast screening programme, plus targeted therapies for different types of breast comparison, the cancers with the lowest survival rates tend to be the hardest to detect and have the fewest treatment pancreatic cancer, the study says these include oesophagus, stomach and lung cancers, which all still have 10-year survival rates below 20%, after only a small amount of progress since the has meant the gap between the cancers with the best and worst survival rates has nearly doubled.

"It's so important that there is more research and support for cancer services here, so that more people can be as fortunate as me," says Matt. The researchers also warned that, while overall survival was still improving, the rate of progress had slowed during the 2010s. Longer waits for diagnosis and treatment are thought to be partly to blame. Michelle Mitchell, chief executive of Cancer Research UK, which funded the study, said: "Thanks to research, most patients today are far more likely to survive cancer than at any other point in the past."But the reality is that this progress is slowing – and for some cancers it never got going in the first place."The charity wants the government's forthcoming strategy to focus on:cutting waiting timesearly detection, including full introduction of a lung cancer screening programmeinvestment in research, particularly targeting the most deadly cancersA Department of Health and Social Care spokesman said cancer care was a priority. with some progress already made on waiting times."The national cancer plan will set out how we will improve survival rates further and address the unacceptable variation between different cancer types," he added.

Calling all learner drivers - there are some new theory test questions on the way
Learner drivers will now be quizzed on their life-saving CPR skills when taking their theory tests. The new questions on CPR and defibrillators will be added to theory tests from early next year. "Part of being a safe and responsible driver is knowing what to do in an emergency - how to step in and make a real, life-saving difference," said Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) chief driving examiner Mark Winn. "Learning CPR and how to use a defibrillator is a very simple skill." More than 40,000 people in the UK suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest every year and motorists are often first on the scene, according to the DVSA. However, fewer than one in 10 people survive. If CPR is given and a defibrillator used within three to five minutes of collapse, though, survival rates can be as high as 70%. 'Life-saving' A father whose 24-year-old daughter died in 2017 from complications following a cardiac arrest led the calls for this change. "When Claire, my daughter, had her cardiac arrest, some knowledge of CPR might have made a difference," said Professor Len Nokes, chair of Save a Life Cymru. "I don't want any other family to go through this experience. "All of us in this partnership hope that by making CPR and how to use a defibrillator part of the theory test, we will be able to significantly increase the number of people who have this life-saving awareness." In order to book a practical driving test, learner drivers must first pass their theory test with at least 43 out of 50 correct answers. They must also pass a hazard perception test.

Why I would NEVER eat this common breakfast as a health and fitness coach
Two eggs on toast theoretically sounds like a wholesome, rounded breakfast. But according to a health and fitness coach, this meal could inadvertently be setting you up for failure if you're aiming to be in the best shape possible. Lewis Welsh, a London-based health coach from Team Superhuman, explained why the optimal breakfast meal for great health 'results' isn't necessarily what you might think. 'If you're a woman aiming to optimise your hormones and reach your best shape, here's exactly what you should be eating for breakfast,' Lewis stated in the second of a two-part Instagram video. Placing a typical breakfast of fried eggs on two pieces of toasted white bread down on a kitchen counter, Lewis declared that this common meal was hormonally and nutritionally setting your body up for failure. 'If you eat toast and two fried eggs for breakfast, you'll be hungry in an hour,' Lewis explained in the first of the two-part Instagram video. 'The bread will spike your blood sugars. Two eggs just isn't enough protein. You're starting your day underfed,' he said. So, how to improve it? Lewis suggested ditching the bread, increasing the egg count and adding a portion of fruit. 'Instead, if you eat six [scrambled] eggs with some fruit, you'll stay full, your blood sugars will stay stable, you have proteins, healthy fats and nutrients,' Lewis explained. 'You'll actually feel energised for the day.' Eggs on toast wasn't the only seemingly healthy breakfast that Lewis took issue with in his viral Instagram video, which has been viewed over three million times. Holding a very nutritious-looking bowl of oats and fruit, Lewis explained that this too was setting you up for nutritional failure. 'If you just eat oats and fruit, you're loading up on carbohydrates, you'll crash in the afternoon,' he explained. 'There's no real protein. It's a blood sugar rollercoaster.' Lewis offered the suggestion of still having a bowl of fruit, but alternatively pairing it with Greek yoghurt. 'Instead, if you have some Greek yoghurt with some fruit – and some sardines on the side, you have a brain-boosting breakfast,' he suggested. Lewis explained that this particular meal is 'going to help towards your muscle building goals, help with recovery and help you feel energised for the day.' The well-meaning health advice videos have received reams of likes and over a thousand replies. But the most-liked response was a hilariously astounded reaction to the feasibility of eating six eggs on a daily basis. '6 eggs? With the price of eggs these days I'd need to lay my own to have 6 in one go lol,' read the top-liked reply. 'Who can actually eat 6 eggs at once? I can barely eat 2 and I love eggs,' chimed in another person. But many commenters also appreciated the nutrient re-think of what constitutes a typical breakfast. 'Love your egg and fruit combination,' read one reply. However, Lewis' second controversial breakfast recommendation was a little less well received among video viewers. Protein-rich sardines are naturally divisive on account of their strong flavour - and the health expert's recommendation of them as a 'side' with fruit and yoghurt baffled commenters. Viewers of health coach Lewis Welsh's video were stunned at his suggestion of adding sardines as a breakfast 'side' 'Greek yogurt with sardines on the side is wild,' read a much-liked comment. 'I'm sorry but who is eating Greek yogurt with a side of sardines for breakfast,' chimed in another. 'Nothing like sardine breath to start the workday,' a third person remarked.
