58.7% of those diagnosed between September 2023 and August 2024 were identified at stages one and two .

That is 2.7 percentage points up since before the pandemic and the highest since records began.

NHS England said a combination of public awareness campaigns and new screening approaches has made a big difference.

Despite progress England is still struggling to achieve its ambition of diagnosing 75% of cancer at stages 1 and 2 by 2028 .
