A MAN treated at Plymouth’s Derriford Hospital is among those praising the care he received as a record-breaking 2.7 million people were referred for cancer checks over the past year.
The pandemic saw numbers dramatically decline in 2020, but NHS England has revealed a huge rise in cancer referrals, while the number of patients receiving treatment for it has risen by 2,000 since the start of the pandemic.
According to data from NHS England and NHS Improvement, referrals for suspected cancer remained at around 116% of pre-pandemic levels, even during the peak of the Omicron wave, and rose overall from 2.4 million to 2,657,316. Around 315,000 patients also started treatment, compared with 313,000 before Covid-19 struck.
Clive Horsnell, 72, from Devon, was diagnosed with bowel cancer last year. After being treated with advanced robotic surgery, he has now been given the all-clear.
Mr. Horsnell, who lost his mother aged 18 to a brain tumour and has four sisters and a son who have all suffered from the disease, had a colonoscopy that caught the cancer in time.
