A new cancer strategy was unveiled by the government yesterday that focuses on prevention, radiotherapy and surgery rather than expensive new drugs. Seven years after the first cancer plan, which was designed to bring the NHS into line with better-funded cancer services in Europe, cancer tsar Prof Mike Richards said there had been good progress but "we know there is much more to be done". The five-year strategy, he said, "will enable us to develop world-class services in this country, saving more lives and ensuring patients get the care they deserve".
