If treatment is clubbed with support and quality care then it can bring a huge amount of difference between coping from cancer and finding it as a struggle.

It seems this factor has been well understood by the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust. The Macmillan Cancer Support has come up with a new league table, considered most improved.

As per this table, the trust has been ranked at the sixth position when it comes to diagnosis, treatment and care provided to patients. The table is prepared after patients' rate the trusts on different parameters.

David Crosby, General Manager for Macmillan Cancer Support in central and south west England, said the hard work the trust has put in has resulted in improved facilities to patients.

Lead cancer clinician Adel Makar has affirmed, "It is great to see that we have improved in so many areas. It is a hugely positive message for patients and NHS staff". He is quite positive about the fact that they will be able to make greater improvements with time.

In total, improvements have been seen in 11 different areas. Moreover, 88% care has been either ranked as excellent or very good.
