Executive Summary
New figures published in the cancer journal Annals of Oncology estimate that nearly 1.3 million Europeans will die from cancer in 2012. While the number of people succumbing to cancer has risen, the good news is that the rate (age-standardised per 100,000 population) of people who die from the disease continues to decline.
