The UK had slightly below average life expectancy (81.3 years compared with an average of 81.7), the lowest survival rates for breast and colon cancer, and the second lowest survival rates for rectal and cervical cancer. Although several outcomes were poor, such as death rates for heart attack...
More than two million years of life are lost to cancer each year in the UK, new research suggests. Experts compared a cancer patient's age of death with average life expectancy to estimate the figures. They say that between 1988-1992 and 2013-2017 about 2.2 million and 2.3 million years ...

Abridged life tables were constructed from age-specific mortality rates (5yr age bands) to estimate LE for ages 20-65 yrs. Results are presented as LE at exact age 20, the average additional years that will be lived by a person after age 20, according to the cross-sectional age-specific...
