Men in Manchester are almost twice as likely to die of cancer before they're 80 compared to those in some of the wealthiest parts of London, a new study shows. Researchers found people who live in poorer neighbourhoods in England have a significantly higher risk of dying from cancer compared to those affluent areas.
One in five men in Manchester are expected to die from cancer before they turn 80, compared to one in eight in Harrow. For women, the risk of dying from cancer before 80 ranged from one in 10 in Westminster to one in six in Manchester.
Researchers suggested that cuts to public health services, such as smoking cessation support, could have contributed to 'astounding inequality' in cancer death risk. They said that the widest inequalities were for cancers where a person’s risk can be reduced with lifestyle changes – such as losing weight or stopping smoking – and for cancers where there is screening available to help cut the odds of dying from the disease.
The study, published in the journal Lancet Oncology, saw experts analyse data from the Office for National Statistics on deaths from 10 cancers which cause the most deaths, including cancers of the lung, bowel, pancreas, stomach and certain blood cancers, as well as prostate in men and breast and ovarian cancers in women.
The researchers looked at deaths across 314 different areas of England which took place between 2002 and 2019. The team, led by academics at Imperial College London, found that the risk of cancer deaths were highest in northern cities, including Liverpool, Manchester, Hull and Newcastle, and in coastal areas to the east of London.
