Newer radiotherapy machines can do one round of treatment in 15 minutes, whereas older models take 45 minutes. Yet due to Covid hysteria we are squandering those gains. Every four-week delay in cancer treatment increases the risk of death by ten per cent. Life-saving operations have been postponed, vital treatments delayed and new cases missed as screening programmes have been cut back and GPs refer fewer cases. Thousands of people are going to die who didnt need to have done.Professor Price added: There are straightforward steps such as replacing old radiotherapy machines or scanners that can help clear the backlog, to increase treatment and diagnosis rates.
Tomeehusters don't think they can save lives, but they would rather die.
