Cancer outcomes improved over three decades - study

A recent report by the National Cancer Registry of Ireland (NCRI) highlights significant improvements in cancer outcomes over the past 30 years. The study, covering the period from 1994 to 2023, indicates a decline in cancer death rates and an increase in survival rates for various types of cancer. Dr. Theresa Redaniel, acting director of the NCRI, attributes these improvements to advancements in treatment and earlier diagnosis. The report notes that Ireland has lower death rates compared to other EU countries for cancers like cervical and colorectal cancer, which benefit from early detection. Despite the rising number of cancer cases and deaths, the NCRI explains that this trend is primarily due to demographic changes rather than an increased risk of cancer.
