I wonder how much of that is down to better/earlier diagnosis \* ? My experience with the NHS is that diagnostics in general isn't great because it's essentially a money-sink, you have to push very hard for a diagnosis a lot of people get a diagnosis privately before going back to the NHS for treatment. Once diagnosed however I've never had any problem getting top quality treatment. This is an anecdote, of course, so I'd be interested to see the statistics. \* Or even over-diagnosis? It's "easy" to have a high 5-year survival rate if you push removal of tumors that may well have been benign.
