Breast Cancer (1994x9)

:

An investigation into one of the biggest killers of middle-aged women in Britain - breast cancer. The programme reports on how doctors are either unaware of or are apparently ignoring the latest research on treatment, and questions whether Britain's hospitals are giving sufferers the best available treatment. "I feel that had I been assessed properly I would have had a much better prognosis. I feel that I've had years taken off my life because of somebody's mistake at the outset", says breast cancer sufferer Suzanne Judge. Steve Bradshaw investigates why Britain has high rates of breast cancer and low rates of survival compared to other European countries.
