Disparities Persist In Survival Cancer Rates In North Tipperary.

New data identifies disparities persisting in survival cancer rates around Ireland, following a new report, from National Cancer Registry Ireland, (NCRI) covering years 2020 to 2022. This report examines the four most common forms of cancers in Ireland; namely lung, bowel, breast and prostate cancers.

During the aforementioned period an average of 44,000 tumours were diagnosed each year, with over half potentially life-changing and requiring extensive treatments.

Some 9,800 deaths were recorded annually, with one in five of these fatalities relating to lung cancer.
An estimated 220,000 people, (or 4% of the population), were identified as living with, or in long-term remission from the disease.

The survival rate, five years after diagnosis, for those with colorectal, lung or breast cancer was found to be lowest in the mid-west region, latter which covers North Tipperary, Clare and Limerick; with survival rates remaining between four and five percentage points lower, when compared with similar cases in the rest of Ireland.

This report demonstrates the very necessary and urgent need for improvements within the mid-west region, when it comes to prevention, screening and early diagnosis; right through to fast access to services and successful treatment outcomes.
