From cure to prevention: How treatment has evolved

Sunderland Echo

|

September 22, 2025

Lucy Bush is director of research and participation at Demos, which has been working with Breast Cancer Now since 2023 to model the impact of breast cancer.

She said: “In the context of the NHS 10 year plan for health announcing a shift ‘from disease cure to disease prevention’ this paper comes at a timely juncture.

“It helps draw attention to the massive opportunity we have to reduce the impact of this devastating disease on our country.

“Our work sheds a particular light on the difference that could be made by focusing on improving outcomes for ethnic minority and low-income groups.

“The disparity we see in the survival rates between different demographic groups is simply unacceptable and the uplift in wellbeing savings demonstrates what the ultimate prize would be-a reduction in the suffering and early deaths of thousands of people.”

Figures show, however, that take-up of screening is still low across the UK.
