Why do you say the information in the CancerStats section is aimed at health professionals?
The information on this section of the website has been adapted from the charity’s successful series of CancerStats reports. These reports were designed for use by health professionals. The information is designed to provide a detailed summary of the data and epidemiological evidence for people who already have a fairly good knowledge of the area. Many of the terms referred to in this section can be found in our glossary. Of course, the information can be viewed by anyone who is interested, but other sections of Cancer Research UK’s web sites might be more relevant and useful. For instance our CancerHelp UK site is written in plain English and is designed to be understood by everyone.
