Precisely. Survival rates are strongly correlated with early detection and the US is pretty obsessive about that. If you read the various papers on the subject, UK has poor survival rates because they have poor early detection rates. And in fairness, it is expensive to do the amount of screening that causes the US to have good survival rates.

Either way, the difference in survival rates is stark.

No, that’s not what the article says in totality, have you read it? Your statement that in all cancer you’re 50% more likely to die in the UK requires at least a link. It’s just not supported. With prostate cancer the linked article explains the difference.
