**Cancer patients surviving longer in the UK
**
一项由英国领先的癌症研究慈善组织发布的调查报告说，在英国，目前有超过17万的癌症患者依然健在，当中有些患者是40年前被诊断出患癌症的。
报告说患者能够存活的原因包括先进的治疗方式和及时地诊断。报告同时也针对治疗癌症所引起的副作用，比如，抑郁症和患者对个人财务的忧虑等问题提出警告。请听报道****▼****
The report looks back at the 1970s, when many people saw cancer as a death sentence. Today, it says things have improved with better therapy, and often quicker ways of spotting the disease.
But Macmillan says while cancer may no longer be life ending, it is life changing. With thousands of people in the UK now living with a long-term legacy of side effects from therapy, the psychological impact, and often financial worries for many years.
And the number of survivors will continue to grow. The government has said by 2020, cancer patients in England will have an individually tailored package of care to help with life after a diagnosis.
