The damning study suggests thousands of patients in this country could be dying prematurely each year from the most common forms of cancer.

Alarmingly, survival rates England, Wales and Northern Ireland are more than ten per cent lower compared to Australia, Canada and the rest of Europe.

This shows just how beneficial life insurance could be.

The UK is said to have the worst lung, breast and bowel cancer five-year survival rates out of the six countries studied, which covered nearly 2.5 million cancer patients.
