Cancer rates up but more surviving it in Wales

More people are being diagnosed with cancer in Wales but survival rates are at an all-time high, a report has said.

Between 2013-14, 19,000 patients were diagnosed - an increase of 11.5% compared with 10 years ago.

The annual report, on behalf of the Welsh government, also found more people than ever are being treated.

But it said late diagnosis was still problematic and "too many" were diagnosed when admitted in an emergency.
