July 16, 2008 -- Where you live plays a role in cancer survival, according to a new study that shows the U.S., Japan, and France recorded the highest survival rates among 31 nations for four types of cancer. Algeria had the lowest survival rates for all four cancers.

...


The highest survival rates were found in the U.S. for breast and prostate cancer, in Japan for colon and rectal cancers in men, and in France for colon and rectal cancers in women, Coleman's team reports.

So there you go. Your sample set of one person with prostate cancer getting treated in the UK is leading you to believe that the UK is better suited for treating prostate cancer. In reallity, and as demonstrated by research derived from a sample size of more than 2 million, it's not true.
