In factual one in eight women will get breast cancer. And motive. These are just some of the many cancer campaigns. Increasing awareness of the disease is helping at a time when the number of those diagnosed is at its highest ever. Last July, 15-year-old Edward Scott sought urgent advice after he realized something was wrong.
實際上，每八名女性中就有一人會患乳腺癌。這是癌癥宣傳活動如此眾多的原因。確診癌癥的人數達到有史以來最高水平，人們對這種疾病越來越清晰的認識也有所幫助。去年七月份，15歲的Edward Scott意識到他的身體不對勁之后尋求緊急建議。
I went to the NHS website. And I found all of the symptoms that were to the what they said cancer were symptoms I had. So the same day I went to my mom and said: mom, there's something really wrong, I have to go get it sorted out. So I went to the GP and on the same day, I found out I just got cancer.
我登錄了NHS網站，發現所有癥狀都符合癌癥的癥狀。所以同一天我跟母親說：媽媽，我的身體不對勁，我必須搞清楚。當天我就發現自己患了癌癥。
Accessible information, advanced technology and scientific research means cancer is being detected earlier. And those it flecks are living longer. In the 1970s, 23% of patients survived for 10 years. By 2007, that figure doubled. At the latest, it suggests that more than 330,000 people were diagnosed with same form of the disease in 2011. That's an increase of almost 50,000 over a decade.
信息透明，高端科技和科學研究都意味著癌癥能夠更早被發現。經過及時治療的病人能夠活更長時間。上世紀70年代，23%的病人能活10年。截止到2007年，該數字翻倍。最近，超過33萬人確診這種疾病，十年期間增加了近5萬人。
The main reason that more and more people are developing cancer every year is because we have an aging population and because people's risk of cancer goes up very significantly as people gets older. The more old people we have in our population, the more people will develop cancer.
每年癌癥患病人數增加的主要原因是人口老齡化，因為隨著人變老，患癌癥的風險也顯著增加。我們的人口中老年人越多，就會有越多人患癌癥。
The risk factors include obesity, smoking and alcohol. For now, a cure remains elusive. Doctors insist that a healthy living remains the biggest prevention against cancer.
風險因素包括肥胖，吸煙和酒精。目前還沒有行之有效的治療方法。醫生建議健康的生活方式仍然是預防癌癥的主要方法。
