Macmillan Cancer Support and Ipsos MORI’s report, Older People Living With Cancer [PDF] is the first of its kind to look at older people’s attitudes towards cancer and its treatment. It identifies new factors which could help explain some of the reasons behind the poorer survival rates among older people. These findings will be of interest to all those with a stake in improving outcomes for older people, including policymakers, commissioners and providers of health services, health professionals and charities.
