There is so much bad news around about breast cancer, but here's some good news: deaths from the disease have fallen in the UK since the 1980s.
However mortality rates from breast cancer continue to be among Europe's highest, the BBC reports. The review of 30 countries, led by French researchers, showed the UK rate dropped by about a third, thanks to better care and speedier diagnosis.
The number of UK deaths caused by breast cancer fell to 28.2 per 100,000 - equivalent to 12,000 deaths per year.
The government said more progress, such as earlier diagnosis, is still needed.
