The NHS in England is set to miss its March 2027 cancer target, exclusive analysis for the Guardian found. Only 70.7% of patients started treatment within 62 days in September, against an 80% goal, official figures show. Radiotherapy UK said 2,850 more patients a month would need timely treatment, a shortfall of nearly 10,000. Officials said cancer waiting times were better than a year ago.
