Breast cancer deaths set to rise as unhealthy lifestyles roll back decades of progress

The number of women dying from breast cancer will begin rising for the first time in decades due to unhealthy living, a new report predicts.

By 2022, three decades’ of progress cutting the death toll in Britain will be in reverse, despite improvements in medical science, experts have said.

Breast Cancer Now, which led the new research, said that while modern medicine means an individual woman’s chance of beating cancer is now getting better, more are developing the disease in the first place due to preventable lifestyle factors.
